WORK HISTORY
Healthcare Data Analyst @Cardinal Health
Pulled claims and clinical data from Epic using SQL, cleaned it across multiple tables, and turned it into weekly reports that four department heads actually use to make staffing and billing decisions each Monday morning • Took over three Power BI dashboards that were being manually updated in Excel every week rebuilt them to refresh automatically, which freed up about five hours of the team\'s time every single week • Noticed a pattern in denied claims across several payers, traced it back to three specific coding mismatches, flagged it to the coding team, and the denial rate dropped from around 18% to 13% over the following two quarters • Sat in on planning meetings with the clinical and finance teams, helped them figure out what data they actually needed for a chronic care project, wrote up the requirements, and ran the analysis that informed a new patient follow-up process • Handled all PHI data under strict HIPAA guidelines, set up access controls on shared dashboards so only the right people see sensitive records, and went through two internal audits without a single compliance issue • Started using Copilot and ChatGPT to handle the repetitive parts of report writing and SQL cleanup what used to take three days to turn around now goes out in a day and a half without dropping any quality
