While clinical data holds enormous potential to drive more meaningful payer collaboration with providers, improve member outcomes and experience, and increase health plan efficiency and revenue, most health plans are increasingly challenged by the complexity and costs associated with acquiring clinical data. Today, clinical data is hard to reach, often residing within the four walls of provider system EHRs. Health plans must go through the laborious process of connecting directly to provider EHRs themselves, which is a tremendous burden given the multiple clinical data exchange protocols that can be used (e.g., REST, SFTP, SOAP, MLLP) and competing clinical data formats (e.g., Hl7v2, CCDA, FHIR). Availity is making big investments to address these challenges and accelerate growth of our clinical solutions. In the Clinical vertical of Availity, our mission is to make clinical data more universally accessible and actionable, resulting in automated workflows that drive a more effective, patient and provider experience. The Availity Clinical platform facilitates the exchange of clinical data between providers and payers as well as the activation of clinical data to drive broad-scale consumption and value realization for targeted payer use cases, including HEDIS and quality measurement, risk adjustment, population health analytics, claims adjudication, utilization management, and enterprise interoperability and FHIR enablement. 

We are looking for a highly motivated member to join our clinical solutioning and consultation team, which sits within our clinical product vertical. The Clinical Connectivity Solutions Consultant will report directly to the Director of Clinical Solutioning and Consultation at Availity and will be expected to work in close partnership with our sales and account management teams as well as our product team to grow our clinical connectivity business. This individual will be charged with building out prescriptive connectivity proposals to support health plan customers both pre- and post-sale.
