Experienced healthcare operations professional with a focus on data integrity.
What I'm looking for
I am a healthcare operations professional with over 11 years of experience in medical coding, revenue cycle optimization, and clinical quality improvement. My expertise lies in reducing denials, driving coding accuracy, and leveraging EMR data systems like EPIC and ECW. I have a proven track record of using SQL, Power BI, and Excel to generate insightful reports that support both population health and financial performance.
Currently pursuing a PhD in Public Health, I have held various roles including Data Quality Analyst and HEDIS Medical Consultant, where I successfully standardized large datasets and developed compliance plans for Medicare and Medicaid programs. My commitment to quality improvement is evident in my ability to achieve high audit accuracy and reduce processing times, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and patient care.
