Using my knowledge of the healthcare industry, industry specific articles, or concerns/questions that my clients have, I prepare, balance, source, and validate the data (this usually happens once) and then I develop the solution using a variety of methods (e.g. visual analysis, statistical analysis, advanced statistics) and tools (e.g. a SQL database, Excel, Tableau, R, Python) targeting a 5:1 ROI.I developed a platform that balanced to an actuarial database by restructuring the data to best practices. From that data, we were able to find a lot of opportunities, including savings from using generic utilization ($200K/month), comparing retail costs to the wholesale price to determine gaps (~$5M one time), linking medication adherence to medical costs to determine those needing adherence ($120M/year), and other opportunities.I also raised the sophistication of analysis. Instead of looking at utilization by zip code, we used geocoding to find opioid usage within 2 miles (urban areas) of retail pharmacies. This gave an idea of high utilization areas and ideal partners. We also considered a alternate compensation model for producers. To estimate this, I created a random scenario algorithm and we used this data to estimate the impact of the change. Show less
