Healthcare Forward Deployed Engineer

We Are:

The beginning of a new Data & AI decade that will reshape work and society has begun. Accenture is stepping boldly into this future with a clear strategy and purpose: to help clients optimize and reinvent their business with data & AI — backed by a $3B investment and commitment to our people to do industry-defining work. 

With over 45,000 professionals dedicated to Data & AI, Accenture’s Data & AI organization brings together our Experienced Innovation, Strategic Investment, Exceptional Talent, and Power Ecosystem. 

You Are:

Provider

An AI Native Engineer that brings deep technical and domain expertise to AI programs at provider organizations — designing solutions that work inside the realities of the electronic medical record and clinical workflows, extending to the administrative side of care where AI can ease the burden of documentation, prior authorization, coding, and revenue cycle. You'll help providers put AI to work across both the clinical and operational realities of their environment and help define the future of healthcare interoperability. 

Payer

An AI Native Engineer that brings deep technical and domain expertise to AI programs at health plans — designing solutions that work inside the realities of core administrative platforms and the claims and member data that flow through them, where AI can ease the burden of adjudication, prior authorization, utilization management, and member and provider service. You'll help payers put AI to work across both the operational and clinical realities of their environment and help define the future of healthcare interoperability. 

The Work:

• Embed with provider teams. Work forward-deployed inside health systems, hospitals, and physician groups – alongside clinical informatics, physicians and nurses, and revenue-cycle and operations leaders – redesigning processes around AI and co-creating solutions using AI tooling to move quickly from idea to working solution.

• Scope the program. Define the problem, the intended outcome, and what good looks like – and identify where AI can automate or augment clinical and administrative work.

• Set the technical architecture. Lead the technical architecture of AI programs in provider environments and articulate it clearly, on paper and in diagrams, for engineers and clinical leaders alike.

• Design for trust. Make sure the solutions you shape are safe, compliant, and clinically sound – building the human oversight, transparency and PHI safeguards that AI in care settings demands.

• Reimagine the ways of working. Reimagine the future way of working for clinical and operational teams, rather than simply automating today's processes.

• Shape interoperability. Help define the future of healthcare interoperability — how the broader ecosystem can connect to the health record in a deep, meaningful way.

• Turn engagements into reusable approaches. Distill what works across providers into repeatable methods and accelerators, so each program starts further ahead than the last.

Travel may be required for this role.  The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
