Director Data Trust and Enablement

Surescripts serves the nation through simpler, trusted health intelligence sharing, in order to increase patient safety, lower costs and ensure quality care . We deliver insights at critical points of care for better decisions — from streamlining prior authorizations to delivering comprehensive medication histories to facilitating messages between providers.   Job Summary: The Director Data Trust and Enablement leads the governance function within our Enterprise Data Platform organization.
