Healthcare Innovation Impact Analyst
The Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) is committed to catalysing and driving innovation for systems change in healthcare, thereby adding years of healthy life. Built on the foundation of co-learning and collaboration, CHI’s core is in facilitating innovation through its suite of platforms and programmes. CHI has built a dynamic network of local and international partners who are dedicated to fostering innovation, creating thought leadership, co-building initiatives to inculcate and embed a culture of innovation within healthcare. We spearhead innovation by driving the adoption of the CHI Innovation Cycle, care and process redesign and in the use of technology. CHI leads transformation at the care, systems and ecosystem levels to achieve better health and healthcare. The CHI Evaluation Office will embed robust, fit-for-purpose evaluation into the innovation lifecycle—turning experimentation into actionable insights, accelerating adoption, and strengthening accountability for results.
JOB SUMMARY
Reporting to the Lead, CHI Evaluation Office, the Healthcare Innovation Impact Analyst will play a crucial role in assessing and quantifying the impact of health innovations, including their environmental sustainability and long-term viability. Their primary focus would be on developing and applying specialised research methods to evaluate innovative healthcare interventions, including their carbon footprint and resource efficiency. The role would involve designing data collection methods tailored to capture the unique aspects of health innovations, conducting statistical analyses to measure clinical, operational, and environmental outcomes, and modelling potential scalability of successful initiatives with consideration for their ecological impact. The analyst would work at the intersection of healthcare, innovation, economics, and data science, utilising their expertise to translate complex health innovation data into compelling evidence of impact, while ensuring proposed solutions align with sustainable healthcare practices. They would collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure evaluation strategies align with the latest trends in health innovation and environmental stewardship, contributing significantly to the office's goal of enhancing the adoption and scaling of impactful, environmentally responsible healthcare solutions.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and Plan Evaluation:
- Develop comprehensive research evaluation methods tailored to specific healthcare innovation projects, incorporating both quantitative metrics and environmental impact indicators such as resource utilisation, waste reduction, and energy efficiency. Skills in qualitative methods would be an added advantage.
- Create logic models and theories of change to map out the expected impacts and outcomes of health innovations, including their contribution to sustainable healthcare practices and long-term environmental stewardship
- Collaborate with clinical project teams to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with health and innovation goals and sustainability targets, as well as metrics for carbon emissions, resource conservation, and sustainable procurement practices
Data Collection and Analysis:
- Implement data collection systems and processes to gather relevant quantitative data on program performance and outcomes
- Utilise statistical techniques and tools to analyse large healthcare datasets
- Conduct comparative analyses to benchmark innovation outcomes against existing practices or standards
- Use predictive modelling to forecast potential impacts of scaling successful innovations
- Employ data visualisation tools to create clear, insightful representations of complex healthcare data
Knowledge Dissemination:
- Prepare comprehensive evaluation reports that clearly communicate the impacts and outcomes of healthcare innovations
- Develop executive summaries and presentations for senior management and stakeholders
- Contribute to the writing of academic papers for publication in peer-reviewed healthcare and innovation journals
- Prepare and deliver presentations at conferences and workshops to share insights and methodologies
- Contribute to the office's knowledge base by documenting best practices in healthcare innovation evaluation
JOB REQUIREMENTS
- Master degree in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Public Health, Environmental Science, or a related field, particularly with a focus on sustainable healthcare systems or environmental health metrics.
- Minimum 5-10 years of experience in epidemiology or biostatistics, preferably in healthcare, public health or innovation sectors, with demonstrated understanding of sustainable healthcare practices
- Proven track record in designing and implementing evaluation methods, including experience measuring environmental impact and sustainability metrics in healthcare settings
- Experience in analysing sustainability data, carbon footprint assessments, or environmental impact studies would be advantageous
- Knowledge of green healthcare standards, sustainable development goals (SDGs), and environmental compliance requirements in healthcare settings is desirable
- Proficiency in statistical analysis software (e.g., R, Python, SPSS)
- Strong skills in data visualisation tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
- Experience with database management and SQL
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Ability to present complex information to diverse audiences
- Experience in writing reports and academic papers
