Partners Personalized Medicine (PPM) leverages advances in genetics to help realize the promise of personalized medicine and improve the care of patients. Construction of IT systems to support research and clinical use of genetic data are a critical part of this mission. The systems we build and maintain are used extensively within Partners HealthCare. To continue to support the advancement of personalized medicine, it is imperative to collaborate with clinicians and bring innovative solutions to the point of care and to laboratory and other processes.

Clinicians in different areas across our healthcare environment identify ways in which care delivery in their areas could be improved with process changes requiring new IT support. The required functionality often involves bringing together disparate data and applying improved analytics. Effectively, they are in need of “apps” to assist decision making processes. It is often expensive to build, clinically validate and deploy this type of functionality in healthcare. The HIP team is creating a platform to simplify the development of this type of functionality in the healthcare setting as well as using the platform to develop needed apps. The potential to introduce positive change for many different kinds of patients is extremely significant. This critical role will substantially increase our development speed and thereby bring benefits to patients in need faster than would otherwise be possible.

Our Health Innovation Platform (HIP) team is creating information technology (IT) infrastructure and applications focused on fundamentally accelerating the rate of clinical innovation in healthcare. HIP will empower clinicians and investigators by facilitating the deployment of apps that improve processes, strengthen communication and bring the power of genetics and analytics to bear to improve the care of patients suffering from life threatening and debilitating diseases.

Our expanding team is tackling some of the largest challenges in healthcare IT – integrating genetic and other new data sources into clinical and pathology workflows, deploying complex analytics-aware infrastructure into mission critical clinical environments, and democratizing healthcare IT. This position offers an opportunity to join our team at an early stage.   

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Gather requirements and prepare technical specifications.
• Conduct system and workflow analysis and design
• Implement the designs across the full technology stack
• Design, create and execute manual and automated tests
• Contribute to best practices and continuous learning across team
• Contribute to design and implementation of overall system architecture
• Assist in maintenance and ongoing support of developed systems
• Use the Partners HealthCare values to govern decisions, actions and behaviors. These values guide how we get our work done: Patients, Affordability, Accountability & Service Commitment, Decisiveness, Innovation & Thoughtful Risk; and how we treat each other: Diversity & Inclusion, Integrity & Respect, Learning, Continuous Improvement & Personal Growth, Teamwork & Collaboration
