Clinical Informatics Consultant
About The Position
Knit Health is building a novel clinical foundation model to improve the way healthcare is delivered. We combine expertise in AI with deep clinical knowledge to develop safe, trustworthy systems that improve care, expand access, and reduce waste. Knit is led by a founding team from the University of California Berkeley who have developed a novel AI architecture which learns to reason like physicians. We’re now closing the loop and using our novel foundation model, together with frontier clinical LLMs, to build a next generation clinical intelligence platform for providers. We are venture backed and have partnered with multiple US-based health systems and data providers. We are seeking a consultant with deep expertise in Epic data architecture to advise our team on accessing, interpreting, and structuring EHR data for product development and analytics. The primary focus is Epic (e.g., Clarity and Caboodle), with familiarity across other major EHR vendors preferred. The consultant should understand how clinical workflows (e.g., documentation, ordering, medication administration) generate data within the operational EHR and how those data propagate into reporting tables used for downstream analysis. This role will help translate complex EHR structures into scalable, analysis-ready data models and advise on cross-vendor data normalization and interoperability standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7, SNOMED, LOINC). We estimate that the current need is ongoing for approximately 4-6 hours per week.
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on experience working with Epic data (Clarity required; Caboodle preferred)
- Strong understanding of how clinical workflows and system build decisions affect downstream data structure
- Experience designing analytics-ready datasets from raw EHR extracts
- Familiarity with other EHR vendors and healthcare interoperability standards
- Able to read and interpret SQL and Spark (coding not required)
Responsibilities
- Serve as a strategic advisor on Epic data architecture (Clarity, Chronicles, SMART on FHIR workflows) guiding data access, structure, and interpretation.
- Translate clinical workflows and system build decisions into clear data lineage from operational EHR to reporting environments.
- Advise on the design of scalable, analytics-ready data models derived from EHR extracts.
- Provide guidance on cross-vendor data normalization and interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, SNOMED, LOINC).
- Assess data quality, governance, and structural risks; recommend best practices for sustainable architecture.
- Partner with product, engineering, and analytics leaders to align EHR data strategy with business and product goals.
- Offer expert consultation on querying and optimizing large healthcare datasets.
Benefits
- medical, dental, and vision coverage with 100% of premiums paid for employees and dependents (full coverage for dental, vision, and our Gold medical plan; employees may choose to buy up to Platinum); coverage begins on the first day of employment.
- a 401(k) plan
- 24 days of PTO annually.
