A member of a multi-discipline implementation team responsible for managing the health plan transition and business operations conversion to the Facets system.  Responsible for teaching the provider team data management techniques to profile legacy system data Lead consultant who was responsible for the successful configuration of multiple insurance plan’s Facets providers, provider reimbursement and capitation modules: including identifying and documenting business requirements, and recommending configuration strategies to fulfill the business requirements. Responsible for developing the insurance plan’s teams; including Facets knowledge transfer (application and database table structure and relationships);use of analytic tools such as MS-Access databases; and common data management analytic approaches. Developed client specific data load processes that were used during the initial configuration to populate the system tables. Using the data loads transformed the teams from a data entry to business rule management thereby increasing the productive capacity of the team by 20% and shortening build cycle times by 15%.  Developed systematic, business rule driven, validation techniques to ensure the configuration activity –whether data loads or on-line entry – were consistently and correctly aligned with configuration decisions and standards. Managed business relationships with peer business competency areas to support the understanding of configuration decisions, data field/data mapping needs and identify business rules required to properly manage the interface or extract development efforts.
