Director, Content and Informatics
Health information exchange, interoperability, big data, analytics, quality reporting, population health and accountable care are all leading buzzwords across the healthcare landscape that hold great promise toward moving the industry closer to improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing patient satisfaction. In order to meet the increasing demands of quality care and regulatory reporting requirements, data normalization solutions need to be streamlined for efficiency and accuracy. My expertise in this area is helping our clients to move forward in developing a solid terminology management platform with recognized governance processes for data normalization in place.
