HSRI is excited to announce that three staff members are being promoted to director roles on the organization’s Population Health Team: Kate Mullins as the director of project and product management, Kevin Rogers as the director of technical services, and Ioana Crisan as the director of healthcare reporting. The Population Health Team has grown since its inception in 2013, and this important change will improve the Team’s ability to continue to provide high-quality services to clients and to further innovate and expand its product offerings to meet new and changing standards. HSRI’s Population Health Team continues to build and maintain modern solutions for data systems to collect, analyze, and report health care data to improve the quality of health information available for research, policy, and practice – with the overarching goal of advancing equitable solutions.

Kevin leads the development of secure, scalable applications that enable health care organizations to produce reliable and timely information for research and quality improvement purposes. He also serves as an ETL architect on HSRI’s all-payer claims database projects.
