How will this role have an impact?

At CVS Health, we believe the home is the hub for better health. Our nationwide network of more than 10,000 credentialed providers engages health plan members at home to provide a comprehensive health screening. Our medical practitioners use a tablet to document all the information they gather from the member. Gathering detailed and correct information is critical for the member’s further diagnosis and treatment thus the design, efficiency, and ability to get new content to the practitioners is vital to our business. We have designed a new platform for creating and deploying this content to replace our legacy system. This is where you come in.
