Design monitoring frameworks for CMMI models: logic models, measures, data sources, benchmarks, analytic methods, and reporting.
Detect and investigate unintended consequences such as risk selection, coding intensity, care stinting, and shifts in referral or site-of-care patterns.
Partner with data scientists and engineers to build dashboards, automated reporting, and ML-based anomaly detection and early-warning signals on the Commence platform.
Write monitoring reports, briefings, and risk summaries for CMMI model teams, turning findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
Design and write technical approaches for CMS/CMMI and other federal agency proposals and serve in key project roles.
Apply monitoring methods to our quality measurement and performance-reporting work for CMS and state partners; Manage teams, set priorities, coordinate tasks, engage clients and stakeholders, and ensure high-quality reports and products are delivered on time and within budget.
