KEY ROLE OBJECTIVES:

The more than 300 retinal specialist panel members are highly valued and are key to our business. It is imperative that we provide panel members with high quality services that are of value to them. Currently, we provide medical practice panel members with regular reports and highly technical analysis for publication, and clinical trial service offerings, such as chart review and trial candidate identification services. In addition, CorEvitas is asked by practices for special analysis of varying degrees of complexity – and so our scientific partnership is at the heart of our relationship.

• Developed paid subscription products for practices

While focusing on optimizing our current panel membership, CorEvitas is also continually growing our panel - both of which require creative ways to expand paid subscription services and identify new revenue opportunities to practices. This requires analysis of processes within practices that can be made more efficient, identify revenue generating opportunities for practices or otherwise enhance the value to practices.

Working with other areas of the business to find solutions to time-consuming work within practices. Automate or otherwise make more efficient services practices find valuable.
