Senior Manager, Data Reporting and Analytics, Biostatistics
Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California
Pleasanton, CA, United States
I am an experienced senior biostatistical data consultant, and now manage a team of more than 20 programmers and data analysts in the Biostatistical Consulting Unit at Kaiser Permanente Northern California’s (KPNC) Division of Research. I have almost two decades of experience as a data specialist and have extensive skill and knowledge in applying the principles and methods of data science for answering questions relevant to health and medical research. Some of my experience immediately relevant to this proposal include my role in the design and testing of complex text mining search queries for a multi-year research study funded by the KPNC Physician Research Program titled “Current Outcomes & Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis (COMACAS).” Part of the work involved in this study was adjudication of the structure, format and validation of the text (string) searching. I also have experience establishing a region-wide comprehensive database for data mining of unstructured data elements on patients who underwent hysterectomy procedures in KPNC from 2001 to 2019. All my projects involved responsibilities in programming, data extraction, and analysis of data required for hypothesis testing or model-building. Also relevant to this proposal, I have extensive experience building statistical models to evaluate risk factors and predictors of health outcomes of interest.
