All good decisions start with knowing, not with assuming. In health policy, knowing entails mountains of data – data that is either too much and meaningless, or too little and useless. Much health policy work goes awry when people toss aside or ignore the data. Finding, combing, using, or even developing data sources are my forte.
Examples of past projects . . .
- recommend to executives the key trends to watch in a $2.0 billion annual health program; and
- tap a public claims data base for 45 small employers who wanted to form an employee benefits trust.
Yet knowing is just the beginning.
