Study

for client interested in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and

in understanding how patient s progress through treatment.

Specifically interested in developing insight into what medications

patients are started on for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer

and how the treatment pathway evolves based upon the initial medication

of choice. Also interested in gaining insight into length of

therapy, treatment holidays, treatment cycles, switching and

discontinuation. In addition to the understanding the general

treatment flows, client is interested in gaining more specific insight

into the profile of the patients on their product versus competitive

products.Market analysis of physicians prescribing certain Durable Medical Equipment (DME).Project for client interested in understanding the persistency and compliance of patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.Did

initial work for a client interested in decomposing product forecasts

by various diseases/indications, as it is presently indicated for

patients with recent heart attack, recent stroke, established

peripheral arterial disease, or acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Study

for a client that markets a inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet

aggregation which is indicated for the treatment of a variety of

conditions including Acute Coronary Syndrome, Stroke, PAD and MI.

Client is interested in tracking the launch by indication to identify

the types of patients that are receiving the drug and how the launch is

impacting competitive products across the various indications for which

it is approved.Fraud and Abuse study into

physicians gaming the claims processing to avoid payment reduction

because of same patient same day rules. Discovered doctors were

using methods, deliberate or otherwise, including splitting patients

across days and between paper and electronic channels.Developed

an inverted multi-tiered member matching algorithm to match people

across various systems using inconsistent and widely varying data pointsDeveloped

a predictive model for a professional fund raising organization.

Particularly challenging because the client, although very good at what

they did do, was not very sophisticated in analytics. However, I was

able to dig into their operational data, develop a model, implement the

scoring, and present the results to management in an understandable

manner.
