He joins Orion Health from Spark\u2019s data solutions company Qrious, where he was Head of Data &amp; Insights and was responsible for helping customers understand how data can improve business outcomes through the delivery of smart data solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orion Health CEO Ian McCrae believes Mr McCallum\u2019s skills and experience will enable the company to attract the brightest analytics team in the country, further cementing Orion Health\u2019s position as a global leader in healthcare technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMachine learning is becoming increasingly important in the delivery of software that enables the practice of precision medicine or personalised healthcare. Orion Health launched its precision medicine platform last year, and we have already achieved significant sales around the world, most notably six deployments in North America,\u201d Mr McCrae says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are now focussed on boosting our ability to provide data insights that will help our customers improve their delivery of healthcare. We already have a talented analytics team based at our US headquarters in Arizona, but we need a team in Auckland where the majority of our research and development team of over 500 people are based.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr McCallum says he is excited about applying machine learning techniques to solutions that enable the delivery of better healthcare outcomes globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe potential gains to be made in the health analytics space are enormous, and Ian and the Orion Health team have a far-reaching vision for this area,\u201d Mr McCallum says. \u201cThe company is extremely well-placed to drive the application of machine learning and advanced analytics in healthcare because its software already manages over 100 million patient health records globally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr McCallum is looking for data engineers to join his Auckland-based team who are excited about the opportunity to improve global healthcare. \u201cIf you are a software engineer who obsesses about clean code, and have a passion for tackling Big Data challenges using technologies like Apache Spark, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Java, Scala, Python, R and more, we are looking for you,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about Orion Health please see our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/orionhealth.com\/us\/\">website<\/a>, and our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/orionhealth.com\/\/nz\/knowledge-hub\/blogs\/\">blog<\/a>&nbsp;and follow us on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/orion-health\">LinkedIn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OrionHealth\">Twitter<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/orionhealth\">Vimeo<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/orionhealth\/\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah Putt<br>Corporate Marketing Manager<br>M: +64 27 617 7235<br>E:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sarah.putt@orionhealth.com\">sarah.putt@orionhealth.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auckland, New Zealand\u2014Orion Health (OHE:NZX\/ASX) is investing significantly in new analytics and machine learning applications as it embarks on a hiring programme to acquire the best analytics talent in New Zealand.&nbsp; Leading the Analytics team is&nbsp;Peter McCallum, who has over 15 years\u2019 experience working exclusively in the Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing and Data Analytics domains.
