Healthcare Data Analyst

Healthcare Data / Reporting Analyst

Run a family practice's quality reporting for a week: define a diabetes measure so it cannot flatter, find a units error hiding in lab data, release data to researchers without releasing patients, show clinician results without misleading small numbers, and report an honest year-on-year change.

What you'll build

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

  • Measure specificationA written definition of the diabetes control measure that anyone could rerun, and this year's first result.
  • Data quality logA units error in one site's lab results, found, measured, corrected with the published conversion, and stopped from recurring.
  • Data release planA university's request for patient-level data turned into a lawful release: what is removed, what is kept, under which route, and how it is sent.
  • Quality reportA one-page report for the partners: this year's diabetes control, a fair comparison with last year after the correction, and the action.
