PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Edison, NJ

Chief Data Architect

Responsibilities:

• Insurance is governed at the State level, thus the company have to rely on dozens of Third Party Agents (TPA’s) that operate at various states to collect/handle claims submissions. This creates huge Data Quality/Cleansing issues as TPA’s rarely comply with Data Format/Standards and typically send data in their prefer format.
• At an $8 Billion P&C Insurance company where they already owned three data quality/cleansing tools to address their Claims validation and cleansing processing. Two of these tools were from the Gartner Magic Quadrant for data quality tools and one was custom designed to specifically address Insurance Claims data quality issues.
• Nevertheless, their claims data quality/cleansing process was a challenge as claims are long tail transactions often plague with data issues caused by non-conforming claims submissions originating from the TPA’s that complicate review process. The highly regulated nature of this industry increases risk/cost involve in ‘mistakes’.
• Applying the Run-time Rules/Data authoring capabilities in my Data ReVizor data quality product, business users were able to quickly/safely exercise ‘What IF’ hypothesis to cleanse and repair Claims for approval process because of the product’s Undo/rollback feature. Traditionally these ‘What IF’ hypothesis are exercise through hand modified ETL and SQL processes that require overnight run. Claims Analyst typically run 6-10 iterations to fully resolve a monthly batch of claims. This implies over a week to work through each batch. The Run-time Authoring capability enables a hypothesis to be tested in mins and batch completion in hour(s).
• Typically their claims processing team require 2 weeks to cleanse/process the average monthly Claims submissions; with the deployment of the Run-Time Data Quality/Cleansing tool, the team was able to process an average month’s claims submission within just 1 day.
• The productivity gain through use of our Run-Time Data Quality solution vs typical batch approaches allow them to redeploy 5 staff resource from the Claims processing team to focus on other needed projects.
• The acceleration of the monthly Claims Cleansing process greatly benefited their Financial Close and Actuarial Reserve Calculations to expedite Stats Reporting and reduce Operational Risk.

Confidential, Denver, Colorado

Management Consulting / Chief Data Architect

Responsibilities:

• Design and implemented a generic Rules Driven Data Model which can support ANY healthcare and insurance institutions for admission, scheduling and claims processing. This generic model revolutionizes the Data Modeling process; eliminating the struggle to strive for near 3rd normal form to achieve its benefits This unique modeling implementation offers performance curves that are insensitive to table join complexity or sparse data which is a real breakthrough in Data Architecture. The extensibility and adaptability this approach affords is mandatory to success for Confidential ’s business model and can be apply to any SaaS shop.
• Designed a model driven Data SOA to interface with the generic DB to facilitate all data access. This addresses the fundamental optimization and stability flaws of available data persistence tools such as Hibernate and JDBC. It also greatly simplifies the change effort related to schema changes and its effect to applications. Now Data Model attributes/relationship changes require little to no programmer involvement at Confidential . Data changes that once require weeks of effort can now be deployed in a day. This provides incredible efficiency and flexibility for data servicing and custom configuration for new clients. This was a must have capability in order for Confidential ’s SaaS model to scale and be profitable.
• Assist in the design and implementation of Rules driven Client Interface to allow for full customization of end client interface by institution, roles and user level. These custom configurations will be manage in rules level and all GUI’s will be dynamically generated at runtime to serve clients need. This too is an aggressive implementation of typical MVC framework.
• Most significantly is the new architecture/design successfully insulates the applications from configuration & data changes and greatly reduces operation cost. The net result of the above deliveries is Confidential is now able to onboard new member hospitals at the pace of upwards of 10 per month where previously it took up to 3 month+ to onboard a new member hospital.
