The Department of Human Services is unable to provide sponsorship for work visas. Applicants must be eligible to work in the United States at the start of employment. DHS does not participate in E-Verify.
The work you'll do is more than just a job.
At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.
The Data Management Analyst will manage and coordinate Nursing Facility Rates and Policy (NFRP) and partner-organization IT systems, data programming, and analysis that produce the Nursing Home Report Card, Performance Based Incentive Payment Program (PIPP), Quality Improvement Incentive Payment Program (QIIP), and related long-term care performance tools. Responsibilities include:
Translate policy and program needs into robust information systems, validated measures, and actionable analyses that inform Aging and Disability Services Administration (ADSA) leadership, nursing facility providers, and external partners
Design, maintain, and continuously improve information systems that enable NFRP to host the Nursing Home Report Card and Nursing Facility Provider Portal websites, and the PIPP, QIIP, and VBR programs
Manage and improve quality measure specifications and other analytic products to meet NFRP and ADSA program goals (e.g., PIPP, QIIP, VBR)
Provide policy analysis and fiscal/statistical evidence at the request of ADSA/NFRP leadership (e.g., Directors, Assistant Commissioners) and state legislators and their staff. Because policy and fiscal analyses can change program intent and materially affect MA budget estimates, these analyses require immediate post action reporting to NFRP leadership and the supervisor for oversight and situational awareness
Serve as the subject matter expert on nursing facility data systems at DHS, as they intersect with related quality programs such as the Assisted Living Report Card and other initiatives across the Aging and Adult Services Division and the Minnesota Department of Health
Manage complex initiatives and transitions to new/improved nursing facility data systems and operational processes
Without this role, ADSA would lack specialized system-development and policy-analysis expertise needed to deliver timely quality measures to internal and external partners and fiscal recommendations for strategic decision-making.
