More information about this job: Overview: Strategic Research Analysts work in teams on research studies surfacing key challenges or opportunities facing hospitals and provide best (and worst) demonstrated practices in addressing these issues. The unique membership model allows research teams to directly interact with hospital executives, learning from their experiences and influencing change at member hospitals through presentation of key research findings. Research studies can range anywhere from 1-9 months in duration, and typically culminate in a two-day summit where research findings and insights are presented to healthcare executives. Most recent studies have addressed topics such as the Emergency Department capacity crisis, the growing burden of bad debt in hospitals, evaluating the latest clinical technologies, implementing electronic medical records, and the nursing shortage. Finally, these studies are published and shared with other hospital leaders via web-based teleconferences. Analysts are actively involved throughout the entire research cyclefrom conception, to research interviews, to analysis and creation of presentation materials. Working in teams provides analysts a great opportunity to learn from peers and to take on more challenging responsibilities as they mature in their roles. Analysts work on two to four research studies per year, with job responsibilities varying according to the stage in the study cycle. Across each research cycle, the analyst will typically be expected to accomplish the following objectives: -Collaborate on research agenda setting -Conduct in-depth interviews with senior healthcare executives -Document and analyze findings from primary and secondary research -Reduce industry challenges to root cause problems -Identify and critique best practice strategies and solutions -Develop innovative frameworks for presentation of findings -Contribute to creation of presentation materials -Potentially analyze and build market calculators and financial models As analysts become more experienced, they assume broader responsibilities, including management of member relationships, providing thought leadership and creativity, and even serving as in-house experts on various topics. The analyst position offers significant growth and rapid promotion potential, as well as opportunities to take on other roles within our growing firm. The Advisory Board is a true meritocracy, with pace of advancement within the firm based on an analysts performance, capabilities and ambition.
