• Monitor operational and clinical KPIs and highlight emerging risks, performance gaps, and improvement opportunities.
• Partner with clinical leadership, Finance, Operations, Quality, and Revenue Cycle Management teams to define analytical requirements and deliver relevant insights.
• Strengthen healthcare data quality by identifying inconsistencies, missing information, integration issues, and reporting discrepancies.
• Support data governance initiatives covering healthcare data accuracy, accessibility, consistency, security, and appropriate usage.
• Work with healthcare terminology and interoperability standards including ICD‑10, ICD‑11, CPT, SNOMED CT, HL7, and FHIR.
• Contribute to analytics initiatives involving the DHA healthcare data ecosystem and NABIDH where applicable.
• Ensure healthcare analytics activities support relevant UAE data governance and regulatory requirements.
• Present analytical findings clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and explain the operational implications of identified trends.
