Job description
Job responsibilities
The Suffolk and North East Essex (SNEE)
Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to recruit a Data Analyst (Band 5,
Agenda for Change) who will work with the Population Health Management
Analytics Manager to deliver a portfolio of population health intelligence.
Population Health Management (PHM) aims
to improve physical and mental health outcomes, promote wellbeing and reduce
health inequalities across an entire population. It supports population health
by helping us understand our current health and care needs and predict what
local people will need in the future. The aim is to use
data to design and implement proactive models of care which will improve health
and wellbeing today as well as in the future.
The
SNEE Integrated Care System (ICS) is now implementing its PHM Strategy. As part
of plans to significantly enhance our infrastructure and intelligence
capabilities, the SNEE ICB has developed a linked, longitudinal dataset
bringing together care records across primary care, secondary care, and adult
social care to enable analysts to identify cohorts of the population with risk
factors or long-term health needs. In addition, the SNEE ICB has established a
cloud-based integrated data and analytics environment with modern analytical
tools to enable the exploitation of the linked data capabilities. Alongside the
development of a SNEE ICS Intelligence Function, an analytical collaborative,
which is leading to significant investment in data science and advanced
analytics capabilities, this ensures SNEE ICS is well served by a sophisticated
and high performing analytical function.
The SNEE ICB is further enhancing its
analytical capabilities by establishing a dedicated PHM analytics team. The
post holder will play a supporting analytical role in developing and enabling PHM
insights from data and analysis. Their analysis will include working with data
from across primary, secondary and care sectors, as well as data on wider
determinants of health. They will work with senior analytical managers to
provide data management and data analysis to support segmentation modelling,
risk stratification, analysis of full patient pathways, and identification and
monitoring of health inequalities. They will also play a supporting role in enabling
stakeholders to access, interrogate and interpret insights from the ICSs
population health insights platform.
They will work with stakeholders
across health and care as part of a virtual network of analysts in the SNEE
Intelligence Function, to use linked data to tailor the provision of care to
identify people who would benefit most from proactive intervention and to
tailor services to best meet population need.
