I  support the analytical needs of an integrated health system consisting of 3 hospitals and 2 physician groups for a variety of strategic objectives, clinical analysis, population health analysis, operational improvements, and business planning efforts.  I tell stories, answer questions and sometimes predict the future with the magic of data and statistics. It usually starts with a question presented by Senior Management, Finance, Clinical Operations, etc.  We define performance metrics and targets, and I determine the best source, then develop, test and maintain architectures. I design and develop creative Business Intelligence components for interactive dashboards, delivered reports, etc. Finally, I present results and provide ongoing education on the use and interpretation of analysis, dashboards, reports, methodologies, systems and source data. All this while seeking to identify performance improvement opportunities. I interact with a diverse group, clinicians, executives, management and subject matter experts regarding all areas of the health system but I specialize in clinical quality measures, particularly those defined by C.M.S. such as 30 day readmissions, mortality, etc. I love this work. It's extremely rewarding when tools I develop provide valuable insights, increase efficiency,  and enhance the quality of patient care.
