Epic BID Analyst II, Epic

DaVita Kidney Care • Ops, ND

2d • $70,000 - $106,000 • Onsite

About The Position

DaVita Physicians Solutions has established a partnership with Epic, the market leader in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), with the dual goal of maximizing physician satisfaction and improving the quality outcomes of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. Effectively managing patients with CKD is critical to ensuring a healthy transition to dialysis, should a patient's condition progress to end-stage renal disease. Nearly 80 percent of patients who make an unprepared transition to dialysis start with a central venous catheter as their access for treatment, which is associated with higher infection and mortality rates. Poor transition management is also costly—just the first-month post-transition can cost the health care system $35,000 per patient. Thus, it is important for the tools and support we deliver to manage the CKD patient population are top tier, progressive, promote interoperability, and aid in population management. Our customers are different from the typical outpatient Epic customer. Our branded solution, DaVita Physician Solutions CKD EHR by Epic, is being sold to practices that are independently owned and operated and range from one physician and up. All of our customers are trained, brought live, and supported remotely. Additionally, we are deploying Epic to certain internal DaVita teams for solving their clinical documentation needs and actively seeking other areas of opportunity that can benefit from DaVita Physician Solutions CKD EHR by Epic. Our goals are physician satisfaction and improving CKD quality. We strive to meet these goals through superior end-user support, elevating end-user Epic knowledge, and configuring optimal nephrology workflows. The Epic BID Analyst II – Business Intelligence Developer (BID) is a data and analytics specialist responsible for delivering high-value insights, metrics, and data models within DaVita’s Epic ecosystem. Unlike a traditional application analyst, the BID’s primary outputs are quantitative models, regulatory metrics, and strategic insights rather than primarily focusing on front-end system configuration. Must demonstrate strong analytical and critical thinking skills. Need to prioritize tasks to achieve demanding deadlines and frequent interruptions under pressure in a fast paced, yet fun environment. Must be a team player with the ability to work independently, as needed.

• Governance & Standards Authority: Enforce data governance standards across the organization. This includes acting as a gatekeeper for the Analytics Catalog, approving metric definitions, and escalating discrepancies to ensure a "Single Source of Truth."
• Population Health & Regulatory Accountability: Ensure the absolute accuracy of analytics tied to regulatory submissions (e.g., NCQA, CMS) and value-based contracts. Design content that tracks CKCC quality measures, risk scores, and care gap closures with audit-ready precision.
• Self-Service Analytics Governance: Empower the organization while maintaining control. Responsible for certifying shared metrics, designing user education strategies, and approving enterprise-level SlicerDicer models to ensure responsible self-service data consumption.
• Integration Logic & Validation: Partner with integration teams on external data sources (interfaced data). The BID is responsible for designing the data mapping logic and validating the clinical accuracy of ingested data, while the integration engineers manage the technical pipelines.
• Performance Optimization: Troubleshoot and resolve complex data failures, identifying root causes in SQL logic or underlying data models.
