Elizabeth Vallejos
@elizabethvallejos
I am an experienced clinical auditor and compliance analyst focused on healthcare quality, auditing, and process improvement.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a clinical auditor and compliance analyst with a master's degree and over a decade working in healthcare operations, program evaluation, and managed care. I bring verified experience auditing clinical health plan data and documentation and a proven record in state-level program evaluation.
I develop and automate audit tools and summaries, produce tracking graphs for management, and deliver timely, actionable audit reporting. I am expert in Microsoft Excel (including VLOOKUP, data mining, and advanced formulas), audit methodology, HEDIS measurement alignment, and process-improvement techniques, and I have routinely worked remotely with full trust from supervisors.
After a planned medical hiatus, I am eager to return to full-time auditing and compliance work where my attention to detail, organizational rigor, and commitment to continuous improvement will immediately add value.
