Essential Job Functions Assists with the design, development, and planning implementation of evaluation services and highly complex data science projects by collaborating with the Sr Data Scientist and SAPC program staff, contracted providers, and other stakeholders, that are needed to drive planning, and policy decisions to reduce cost, promote quality of care, and implement value-based SUD treatment and prevention services including but not limited to forecasting utilization and cost, cost/finance analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, and predictive/prescriptive data modeling to identify investment prioritization, design interventions, and measure outcomes, identifying existing and emerging trends and gaps in care to maximize revenue, and to reduce the cost of unnecessary waste and over/under utilization of services. Predictive Data Analyst is distinguished from the higher-level Data Scientist in that the latter independently completes moderately complex data science projects or major aspects of large/complex projects, which may include developing new analytic methods, functions, or data architectures, whereas Predictive Data Analysts apply well-established analytic principles, methods, and procedures within existing data systems and architectures to complete well-defined, routine-to-moderately-difficult functions and projects.
