MPA is building a small, elite team of world-class software engineers to directly influence the quality and cost of healthcare, addressing the fundamental challenges facing the healthcare system in the United States.
Our developers write software to:
* support internal analyses of healthcare data
* define and improve overall technical processes
* compute appropriate costs for care and reconcile them to actual costs
* build a suite of packaged products and services that evaluate clinical outcomes of care
* analyze performance data to identify the most appropriate and effective patterns of care
MPA is seeking exceptional software engineers who are deeply committed to delivering high quality, timely results and who possess a proven ability to derive and apply practical and creative solutions to difficult technical and business problems.
Members of this unit will have significant input into and control over processes, protocols, and tools employed. The firm has historically stored, manipulated, and analyzed healthcare data using SAS. However, SAS knowledge and expertise is NOT a prerequisite for this team. MPA’s leadership will support technologies and tools best suited to the work being performed.

The idea of the knowledge of the edge cases of a system living in the brains of the hackers as "metis" puts a word to a phenomena I've seen "in the wild". Now the definition of the word "metis" just needs to be condensed down into something shorter than a 5000 word blog post.
