Data Analyst

Overview

The engagement aims to transform a large Excel extract of potential duplicate patient encounters into a structured, interactive Power BI dashboard that supports data‑quality improvement and operational cleanup. The consultant will work with HIM, data governance, and clinical operations teams to define the criteria and visualizations needed to surface duplicate patterns, encounter clusters, and high‑risk records.
