Decision Support Analyst (2026-0919)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Job Title: Decision Support Analyst (not to be used as heading) - Req: 2026-0919 (drop) - Location: VMC Main Campus (maybe part of location) - Department: Treasury Services - Shift: Type: Full Time - FTE: 1 - Hours: (maybe not given) - City State: Renton, WA - Category Professional (NCNM) - Salary Range: Min $94,894 - Max $142,341/annual DOE - Job Description: includes overview, responsibilities, prerequisites, qualifications, etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe job overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have salary range => Pay section. We have hours: "Typically, Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm" => Schedule. We have location maybe in About the role? Could include location in About the role paragraph. We have department, shift type, FTE maybe in About the role. We have responsibilities: many bullet points under "Essential Responsibilities And Competencies". Also earlier "JOB OVERVIEW" etc. We have prerequisites: Bachelor's degree etc. That's Requirements. We have qualifications: repeated similar to prerequisites. Might combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need separate sections if content. We have skills: many skill statements: proficiency in Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Epic Reporting, etc. Also analytical, problem-solving, communication, organization, process documentation, attention-to-detail, ability to manage multiple priorities, etc. Also understanding of cost accounting fundamentals, etc. So Skills section. Benefits: Not mentioned in posting. No benefits info. So we should NOT include Benefits section. Schedule: we have typical hours. Pay: we have salary range. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format content. About the role: include job overview, location, department, shift type, FTE maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. So

About the role

then paragraphs. We need to preserve all substantive info: location (VMC Main Campus, Renton, WA), Department Treasury Services, Shift Type Full Time, FTE 1, Hours typical Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm (but that goes to Schedule). For About the role we can include location, department, shift type, FTE. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Essential Responsibilities And Competencies" and also maybe from earlier overview. We'll combine into

• . Requirements: prerequisites: Bachelor's degree required, minimum five years experience, experience working with healthcare... Proficiency in Microsoft Excel required; experience with SQL, data query tools preferred; understanding of financial concepts, cost accounting principles, etc. Also strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organization, process documentation, attention-to-detail skills, ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines. Understanding of cost accounting fundamentals, etc. Ability to validate and reconcile data, apply basic statistical concepts, analyze trends, investigate variances, explain differences. Also maybe "Working knowledge of healthcare financial, clinical, operational, billing, decision support, general ledger, budget, data warehouse, and cost accounting systems." That seems more qualifications but could be in Requirements. However we have separate Qualifications section; we can split: Requirements = education, experience, core prerequisites. Qualifications = specific knowledge/abilities like creating pro-forma income statements, developing allocation methodologies, evaluating expense classifications, etc. Skills = technical skills like Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Epic Reporting, plus soft skills. But we must not duplicate content. Let's extract. From "Prerequisites:": - Bachelor's degree in business, finance, accounting, healthcare administration, data analytics, or a related field required. - Minimum of five years of experience in healthcare analytics, financial analysis, decision support, cost accounting, or a related field required. - Experience working with healthcare, financial, operational, or cost accounting data, including reporting, analysis, and reconciliation activities required. - Proficiency in Microsoft Excel required; experience with SQL, data query tools (Power BI, Tableau, Epic Reporting), reporting systems, or business intelligence applications preferred. - Understanding of financial concepts, cost accounting principles, cost structures, allocation methodologies, and data analysis techniques, including familiarity with healthcare operations, billing, clinical, budget, or general ledger systems. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organization, process documentation, and attention-to-detail skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines. - Understanding of cost accounting fundamentals, including direct and indirect costing, overhead allocation, allocation drivers, cost center structures, service line profitability, and chart of account relationships. - Ability to validate and reconcile data, apply basic statistical concepts, analyze trends, investigate variances, and explain differences between cost models, allocation outputs, and actual financial results. That's a lot; could be considered Requirements. Then "Qualifications:" (the later repeated block) includes: - Working knowledge of healthcare financial, clinical, operational, billing, decision support, general ledger, budget, data warehouse, and cost accounting systems. - Ability to create pro-forma income statements and support service line, contribution margin, profitability, and financial performance analyses. - Ability to develop, maintain, validate, and document allocation methodologies, assumptions, cost drivers, process controls, and related cost accounting procedures. - Experience evaluating expense classifications, cost center mappings, and chart of account relationships preferred. - Strong organizational, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills, with the ability to learn new systems, tools, and processes quickly. These could go to Qualifications section. Skills: maybe we separate technical skills: proficiency in Excel required; experience with SQL, data query tools (Power BI, Tableau, Epic Reporting), reporting systems, or business intelligence applications preferred. Also maybe "Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organization, process documentation, and attention-to-detail skills" but those are also in Requirements/Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put technical skills in Skills, and keep soft skills in Requirements/Qualifications. But we need to preserve all info; duplication is okay? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but better to avoid redundancy. However we can keep each piece in appropriate section; if it appears in both places we could include once. Let's decide: - Requirements: education, years experience, experience working with data, understanding of financial concepts/cost accounting principles, understanding of cost accounting fundamentals, ability to validate/reconcile data, apply stats, analyze trends, investigate variances, explain differences. - Qualifications: working knowledge of systems, ability to create pro-forma income statements, ability to develop/maintain allocation methodologies, experience evaluating expense classifications, strong organizational/teamwork/communication/problem-solving/attention-to-detail skills, ability to learn new systems quickly. - Skills: proficiency in Microsoft Excel required; experience with SQL, data query tools (Power BI, Tableau, Epic Reporting), reporting systems, or business intelligence applications preferred. Also maybe "Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organization, process documentation, and attention-to-detail skills" but those are already covered. To avoid duplication, we can keep only technical skills in Skills. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. However they asked to use sections for Skills if content exists. We have technical skills content, so we can include Skills section. Now Responsibilities: list from "Essential Responsibilities And Competencies". Let's extract bullet points: - Collect, validate, reconcile, and analyze healthcare, finance, cost accounting, and operational data to ensure accuracy, integrity, and consistency across reporting sources. - Develop and maintain routine and ad hoc reports, dashboards, and analyses that support operational, financial, cost accounting, service line, and decision support needs. - Prepare revenue, expense, utilization, profitability, contribution margin, service line, cost trend, and pro-forma analyses to support financial planning and performance review. - Support the development, maintenance, monthly processing, and validation of decision support models, cost models, reporting tools, data structures, cost accounting hierarchies, cost center mappings, and chart of account relationships. - Reconcile cost accounting system results and model outputs to the general ledger, financial statements, ancillary feeder systems, and other source systems; identify variances, root causes, corrections, and methodology refinements. - Develop, maintain, document, and periodically validate methodologies for assigning direct costs and allocating overhead, indirect costs, shared services, support departments, and other expenses across departments, service lines, procedures, programs, and reporting dimensions. - Review allocation statistics, cost drivers, source data, expense classifications, cost center assignments, and data mappings; recommend reclassifications or mapping changes to improve cost reporting and financial analytics. - Support department, service line, procedure-level, and patient-level cost models, including documentation of assumptions, data sources, allocation calculations, reconciliations, process controls, and methodology changes for management review or audit support. - Partner with Finance, operational leaders, senior analysts, Information Technology, and other stakeholders to understand reporting needs, validate data, automate processes, explain allocation results, and deliver actionable decision support solutions. - Support annual budget, forecasting, financial planning, service line analysis, process improvement, reporting standardization, automation initiatives, department projects, and other assigned initiatives. - Perform other duties as assigned. Also earlier overview: "The Decision Support Analyst supports organizational decision-making by collecting, validating, analyzing, and interpreting healthcare, finance, cost accounting, and operational data. This role partners with senior analysts, Finance, operational leaders, Information Technology to develop reports, conduct analyses, maintain data systems, develop pro-forma income statements, and support cost accounting methodologies that inform hospital operations, patient care, service line performance, and financial planning. The Analyst works with moderately complex datasets and contributes to routine and ad hoc reporting, cost model validation, overhead and indirect cost allocation, service line and procedure-level cost analysis, and documentation of decision support and cost accounting processes while continuing to build expertise in healthcare analytics and decision support systems." We could incorporate overview into About the role or Responsibilities. Since About the role is for overview, we can put overview there. Now Pay: Salary Range: Min $94,894 - Max $142,341/annual DOE. Schedule: Typically, Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. Now About the role: include location (VMC Main Campus, Renton, WA), Department Treasury Services, Shift Type Full Time, FTE 1, plus overview. We should not include Job ID etc. Now produce HTML:
