Health missions · Data science

From claim line to care decision.

Health data is unlike any other: fragmented across standards, governed by layered privacy law, and consequential in a way ad clicks never are. This is the domain we chose — and the discipline it demands shapes everything we build.

TAMPA BAY · WK 30 · PER 100K

Choropleth map of the Tampa Bay region — real Census ZIP-code boundaries for Hillsborough, Pinellas, and southern Pasco counties — shaded light to dark blue by weekly syndromic rate per 100,000. A three-ZIP cluster in East Tampa is flagged in amber and under review; a milder rise shows in south St. Petersburg. Illustrative rates over real geography.

Mission domains

Where we operate

Four problem spaces, each with its own data shapes, statutes, and stakes.

CMS-scale missions

Claims & Payment Integrity

Fraud, waste, and abuse detection across billions of claim lines; risk-adjustment analytics; provider network analysis; and prior-authorization decision support.

Public-health missions

Population Health & Surveillance

Syndromic surveillance pipelines, outbreak detection models, social-determinants integration, and jurisdiction-level dashboards that hold up during a crisis.

VA / DHA-scale missions

Clinical Operations

Risk stratification for care management, capacity and wait-time forecasting, clinical NLP over provider notes, and decision support embedded in the EHR workflow.

NIH-scale missions

Research Data Platforms

OMOP-based research enclaves, registry and trial data systems, de-identification pipelines, and reproducible analysis environments for scientific teams.

Method

The study is designed before the data is touched.

Health missions don't tolerate improvisation. Every analysis here starts from a written plan and ends with a result a review board can weigh.

Protocol before analysis

The question, the cohort, the outcome and the analysis plan are written down before the first query runs — so the result answers the question that was asked, not the one the data suggested afterwards.

Reproducible end to end

Versioned data and code; every figure regenerates from source. An analysis that cannot be rerun cannot be trusted, and a reviewer should not have to take our word for it.

Reported with its uncertainty

Intervals, sensitivity analyses and calibration travel with every estimate, so a decision-maker knows how much weight a result bears before acting on it.

Fluency

We speak the standards natively.

No translation layer between your data and the people who research it.

Trust architecture

Compliance, designed in.

The regulatory frame isn't an obstacle to good research — it's part of the study design.

HIPAA
Privacy by design. De-identification, minimum-necessary access, and audit trails built into every data flow.
NIST SP 800-171
Controls as code. Security controls implemented as code with evidence collected automatically, so accreditation is not a retrofit.
Section 508
Accessible by default. WCAG 2.2 AA conformance designed in and tested with assistive technology.
42 CFR Part 2
Part 2–protected records segmented and consented where a mission requires it.
IRB & data use
Human-subjects governance and data-use agreements for research on data agencies already hold.
