School of Medicine Established in 1930, Duke University School of Medicine is the youngest of the nation's top medical schools. Ranked sixth among medical schools in the nation, the School takes pride in being an inclusive community of outstanding learners, investigators, clinicians, and staff where interdisciplinary collaboration is embraced and great ideas accelerate translation of fundamental scientific discoveries to improve human health locally and around the globe. Composed of more than 2,600 faculty physicians and researchers, nearly 2,000 students, and more than 6,200 staff, the Duke University School of Medicine along with the Duke University School of Nursing, and Duke University Health System comprise Duke Health, a world-class academic medical center. The Health System encompasses Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, Duke Raleigh Hospital, Duke Health Integrated Practice, Duke Primary Care, Duke Home Care and Hospice, Duke Health and Wellness, and multiple affiliations. OCCUPATIONAL SUMMARY: The Outcomes Project Leader I position provides leadership to the department and to projects for application of information technology and health services research data management. This includes identifying research and business objectives and informatics solutions utilized in clinical research and health services data management operations. This can include translational, clinical research, and health service policy projects. The Outcomes Project Leader I has knowledge of biomedical informatics practices including medical computing, terminology, healthcare and research data systems and health information exchange, including the use of electronic health data, including claims data, in applied clinical and policy research. This individual oversees assigned projects and is active in developing more efficient and effective data management support for research projects supported by the department. Close collaboration with other functional areas within department and across Duke, and external organizations is necessary. The Outcomes Project Leader I typically leads the operations on one or more biomedical or policy research projects of average to moderate complexity, at times with oversight of a more senior Project Leader. These projects will typically utilize real-world data and operate under constraints of time and resources. The Outcomes Project Leader will also contribute to the management of real-world data networks (e.g., PCORnet, CardioHealth Alliance) and will be knowledgeable of the governance and expectations of each. ** NOTE: This position may have an opportunity to work remotely.
