- Provide analysis on current clinical costing practices, as well as develop modelling for potential improvements, with a view to assist managers and clinicians to identify service improvements and efficiencies.
- Use integrated computer systems to develop and present information, including trend, future state and modelling analysis that is clear and concise, to influence decision making both verbally and in written form.
