The mission of the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) is to monitor the Massachusetts health care system and to provide reliable information and meaningful analysis for those seeking to improve health care quality, affordability, access, and outcomes. CHIA also acts as a principal repository for health care data collected by the state and is responsible for key data assets such as the Massachusetts All-Payer Claims Database (MA-APCD) and the Massachusetts Acute Hospital Case Mix Databases. CHIA’s Data Quality Team is seeking a summer Programmer/Developer intern. This is a temporary position that will run approximately June through September, though the exact timing may be flexible.
