Through analysis of individual patient databases (e.g., medical claims, electronic health records, registries, etc.), we may provide key information such as:

Treatment patterns and drug utilization

Resource utilization

The incidence and prevalence of diseases and co-morbidities

The incidence of adverse events

The impact of various risk factors

Cost-effectiveness

Burden of disease

Comparative effectiveness data

Promising SAS candidates without these additional skills will be provided the opportunity for additional training. In addition, this individual will participate in quantitative analysis of retrospective and prospective data, clinical and observational, and both existing data and data collected explicitly for research objectives (de novo data collection) working with the researchers in Evidera.

Role Responsibilities:
