Opportunity Awaits, Apply Today! Program Data Analyst (Operations and Policy Analyst 2)

Calling all data analysts… Get ready to flex your data-loving wings with a small, agile, semi-independent Oregon state agency who needs YOU!

The Program Data Analyst is a dynamic, multi-faceted role that supports analytics for the Oregon Patient Safety Commission (OPSC). This new role will play an important part in the high-performing team we’re growing to help build a culture of patient safety for all Oregonians.

A note about our data: OPSC’s programs are voluntary, non-punitive, and confidential. This makes the analysis of our data a little different than typical health services data analysis. Our data is primarily qualitative and narrative but does include some quantitative, categorical data.

OPSC is a semi-independent state agency with a mission to: 1) reduce the risk of serious adverse events occurring in Oregon’s healthcare system, and 2) encourage a culture of patient safety. OSPC operates two statewide programs, the Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP) and Early Discussion and Resolution (EDR). These programs offer a constructive space for healthcare facilities, providers, and patients to build a culture of safer care. OPSC's semi-independent status gives the organization access to resources while allowing the organization to approach the work from a nimble, innovative standpoint. To learn more about OPSC, visit our website: oregonpatientsafety.org

This position will:

  • Perform ongoing data quality evaluation and data systems maintenance for both OPSC programs: EDR and PSRP
  • Coordinate ongoing data systems changes and improvements.
  • Support agency data governance activities.
  • Prepare and analyze data to support routine program activities.
  • Prepare primarily qualitative analyses (including both data and narrative analyses) for mandated annual program reports.
  • Prepare standard program analytic reports for OPSC’s Board and Task Force.
  • Identify and implement data strategies and provide ongoing support for reporting and communication needs.

Authentic collaboration, clear communication, and a team-oriented mindset are key to this role. We’re not looking for a culture fit… we’re looking for a culture add! Bring your authentic self to work.
