Flatiron Health Innovation & Technology Culture

Our learn, teach, grow philosophy is a core part of Flatiron that I find a lot of value in. From honing my technical craft alongside more experienced engineers to working on stretch projects that challenge me — I am constantly motivated to grow myself and those who come after me.
 

When I talk to people in my personal life about ML in healthcare, they’re often concerned that clinicians will be replaced by soulless algorithms. I think this is far from the truth of what the vast majority of ML efforts in healthcare are trying to achieve. ML efforts at Flatiron aim to ensure that we learn from all the patient-clinician interactions we can. We then use that information to support research into new therapies and aid clinicians through tools within their EHR, providing them with everything they need to leverage the latest and greatest research in the clinic.
 

Over the last decade, Flatiron pioneered the oncology real-world evidence industry and re-imagined community oncology infrastructure with its OncoEMR system. We're now leveraging EMR in completely new ways for clinical research, from high-quality patient matching and digital alerting, to streamlining clinical trial data collection and prospective evidence generation within routine point of care workflows. Solving for the technology gap between clinical research systems and EMR systems, combined with using real-world evidence to make highly informed, confident clinical development decisions.
 

Our technology teams include every role from data science and software engineers to information technologists and technical product managers—collectively working together to modernize the world of cancer care and research.
