The team

IQVIA has adopted OMOP/OHDSI as a systematic and standardized approach to RWE. Data are converted into the OMOP Common Data Model, making queries and analytics interoperable and sharable. In addition, the generation of these queries and tools and its execution can be separated, both physically as well as logically, creating the opportunity to develop code for purposes of descriptive statistics or hypothesis testing in the absence of a direct data access to all data assets being targeted. As a consequence, the generation of insights becomes an industrialized process, including the characterization of data and the generation of insights.

The OMOP Productised Analytics team’s mission is to deliver world class and globally scalable projects through:

• Rapid analytics - to assess study feasibility and availability of data
• Standardised characterisations of the composition of a population: their demographic structure, the distribution of their comorbidities, the duration between diagnosis and intervention, etc.
• Protocol-driven analytics - estimating the association between clinical interventions and their outcomes – benefits and adverse events.
• Predictive models for determination of populations (phenotypes) or outcomes (patient-level predictions)

Location and travel

• Role based remotely with minimal travel expected to other IQVIA offices (London, East Coast US) or to attend conferences.

IQVIA is a strong advocate of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We believe that a work environment that embraces diversity will give us a competitive advantage in the global marketplace and enhance our success. We believe that an inclusive and respectful workplace culture fosters a sense of belonging among our employees, builds a stronger team, and allows individual employees the opportunity to maximize their personal potential.
