Clinical Data Analyst - Health Interoperability & AI Platfor in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Niche, High-Demand Skill Set: This role sits at the intersection of healthcare data interoperability, clinical informatics, and data analytics — a very specialized and growing domain. Proficiency in HL7, CCDA, ADT, TEFCA/QHIN, and HIE networks is increasingly sought after as the US healthcare system modernizes. These skills command strong market premiums and are transferable to health systems, payers, and health-tech companies.
Compensation vs. Market: The $77K–$100K range is on the lower end for a healthcare data analytics SME role in 2024, especially given the specialized interoperability knowledge required. Mid-level health data analysts with similar skills typically earn $90K–$130K at comparable health-tech companies. The equity (ESPP) and bonus may partially close this gap, but candidates with strong HIE/TEFCA backgrounds should negotiate toward the top of the band.
Career Development Signals:
- Green flag: SME ownership of the full clinical data lifecycle gives strong portfolio-building opportunities — a rare chance to drive strategy, not just execute.
- Green flag: Cross-functional exposure to Product, Engineering, and Clinical teams accelerates career versatility.
- Green flag: Professional development funding, mentorship, and regular performance reviews indicate investment in employee growth.
- Watch: Being a subsidiary of Clover Health means some strategic priorities may be set externally. Understand the level of autonomy before joining.
Culture Signals: The startup-within-a-larger-company structure (Counterpart Health under Clover Health) suggests agility with some enterprise backing. No-Meeting Fridays and flexible PTO reflect a modern, employee-conscious culture.
Counterpart Health is an AI-powered physician enablement platform that delivers clinical insights to providers at the point of care. Our flagship product, Counterpart Assistant, is embedded into clinicians' workflows and integrates with EHR systems, helping care teams drive value-based outcomes, close care gaps, and proactively manage chronic disease. As we grow our data ecosystem — expanding across legacy interoperability networks, QHIN/TEFCA connectivity, and direct HIE integrations — we need rigorous analytical ownership to ensure the clinical data powering our platform is complete, reliable, and actionable.
You will serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for clinical data completeness and effectiveness at Counterpart Health. Sitting within the Data Products pillar, this role owns the end-to-end understanding of our clinical data lifecycle: where data comes from, where it breaks down, and how each vendor or integration pathway performs across our customer markets. Your analysis will directly shape vendor strategy, facility targeting, and data pipeline investments, ensuring that the clinical evidence our care teams depend on is consistently available and trustworthy.
As a Data Analyst, you will:
- Proactively identify and monitor which healthcare facilities consistently generate high-quality, usable clinical documents (e.g., EHRs, discharge summaries, procedure notes) to precisely locate and quantify data gaps.
- Conduct deep-dive analyses by mapping and correlating facility-specific data across disparate sources like structured claims, clinical care summaries (CCDAs), and ADT messages to uncover systematic patterns of missingness, latency, or incongruence in clinical records.
- Establish and maintain clear, transparent reporting on ADT coverage across key geographic, organizational, and technological dimensions (e.g., by county, facility, and underlying EMR system).
- Based on rigorous analysis of data flow and quality, recommend and guide the implementation of optimal technical configurations for existing data vendors (e.g., Bamboo Health, PCC, Experian, HSX).
- Conduct comprehensive evaluations and proof-of-concepts for potential new data integration technologies (e.g., Kno2 vs. Particle Health) to assess viability, quality improvements, and strategic fit.
- Systematically determine the existence and completeness of documentation associated with specific patient visits or encounters.
- Develop a data-driven framework for prioritizing facility targets for direct data acquisition, assessing impact, cost-effectiveness, and technical feasibility.
- Inform and guide vendor strategy around national initiatives such as TEFCA and QHIN adoption, ensuring Counterpart Health is positioned for compliant, high-quality data exchange.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product Managers to define data requirements, Engineers to implement reliable pipelines, and Clinical teams to validate data quality and clinical utility.
- Act as a critical liaison to identify and remove operational and technical bottlenecks, ensuring a predictable, scalable, and reliable clinical data flow across all customer markets.
You should get in touch if you have:
- 2+ years of hands-on data analytics experience, with direct exposure to healthcare data interoperability.
- Strong hands-on experience with healthcare data standards: HL7, CCDA, and ADT messages.
- Proficiency in SQL and comfort working with large, complex datasets (claims, clinical logs, interoperability data).
- Background in analyzing interoperability networks (e.g., Carequality, CommonWell, eHealthExchange) or HIE integrations.
- Skilled at data visualization and able to present complex findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong investigative mindset — you enjoy digging into the "why" behind missing data and diverging metrics.
- Self-directed and able to manage multiple analytical projects (vendor comparisons, visit-level reconciliation) without constant supervision.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with TEFCA/QHIN frameworks and evolving national interoperability standards.
- Familiarity with vendor-specific data exchange platforms (e.g., Bamboo Health, HSX, Particle Health, Kno2).
- Background in value-based care, population health, or clinical data operations.
- Experience with claims-clinical data reconciliation (e.g., matching EOBs to clinical encounter records).
- Comfort working with Python or similar tools for data manipulation and automation.
Benefits Overview:
- Financial Well-Being: Competitive base salary, equity opportunities, performance-based bonus program, 401k matching, and regular compensation reviews.
- Physical Well-Being: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their families.
- Mental Well-Being: No-Meeting Fridays, monthly company holidays, access to mental health resources, and a generous flexible time-off policy. Remote-first culture supporting collaboration and flexibility from any location.
- Professional Development: Learning programs, mentorship, professional development funding, and regular performance feedback and reviews.
Additional Perks:
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) offering discounted equity opportunities
- Reimbursement for office setup expenses
- Monthly cell phone & internet stipend
- Remote-first culture, enabling collaboration with global teams
- Paid parental leave for all new parents
