The delivery of healthcare is increasingly complex — with ongoing changes to regulatory requirements, reimbursement methodologies, technology expansion and the exponential growth of data generated from a myriad of sources including devices, both provider and consumer driven.
To understand and interpret the data, one must understand "the language of" medicine – the delivery of healthcare throughout the continuum of health – and, reimbursement for these services provided by physicians, healthcare professionals, and organizations.
The expertise and value I bring to clinical data analysis is with a focus on these core principles:
-
Understand and convey the importance that data analysis provides using clinical and claims data. For example: using claims data from several providers can provide a clinical understanding of the individual patient’s medical condition that would otherwise require a manual review of multiple records or systems.
-
Analyze data noting — data outcomes can affect populations beyond the local level to the national and international level of healthcare. One instance with international impact >> individuals traveling internationally demonstrating 'similar symptoms' validates further research of the individuals and the environment.
-
Respect that each person working in healthcare is a valuable resource and should be accurately and timely reimbursed.
Interpreting and connecting healthcare workers through Data:
-
Understand and communicate the language of medicine distinct to healthcare.
