Pharmacist and medical terminologist at Truveta, standardizing health data with clinical terminology standards and identifying $46,000 in duplicate claims.

United States
Message

At Truveta, I standardize and normalize health care data using SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, CVX, and UDI. I also annotate training data for machine learning models and clinical notes.

At SSM HEALTH - DEAN HEALTH PLAN, I analyzed pharmacy and medical benefit drug claims using Excel and SQL, and worked with the Data Analytics Department on models to estimate savings for pharmacy value initiatives. I identified a duplicate high-cost medical benefit drug claim that helped a client recover $46,000.

My pharmacy work has included outpatient and float roles at NORTH OLYMPIC HEALTHCARE NETWORK PHARMACY, BARTELL DRUGS, and CVS PHARMACY. At NORTH OLYMPIC HEALTHCARE NETWORK PHARMACY, I filled prescriptions and provided immunization and refill authorization services, using Epic.

I have a Doctor of Pharmacy from the UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA and a Master of Sciences in Health Informatics from the UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO. I’m a registered pharmacist in Washington, Minnesota, and California.
