Develop specific analytics problem statements and modeling objectives from broadly defined care management and administrative use cases
Iteratively develop data pipelines, AI/ML models, and supporting code to address analytics use cases
Evaluate AI/ML models and tools – both internal (developed at Alliance) and external (developed by third parties) – with evaluation pipelines and appropriate metrics consistent with both modeling objectives and the intended health or process outcomes to be achieved with the tool
Collaborate with application development, external vendors, and other internal IT teams to deploy and sustain AI/ML models and tools
Design and implement model/tool monitoring reports or dashboards to disseminate information about model performance and impacts to stakeholders
Support Development of Platforms and Internal Processes for AI/ML Projects
Collaborate with AI and IT leaders to establish and refine internal processes to govern development, evaluation, deployment, and sustainment of AI/ML tools
Contribute to development of iternal and/or cloud-based infrastructure for development, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring of AI/ML tools
Develop reusable resources, such as internal data processing or modeling libraries and reusable features, for use across AI/ML initiatives
Adhere to all laws, regulations, internal policies, and ethical guidelines related to patient privacy, confidentiality, information security, etc., while developing AI/ML solutions
