Yuan is the Population Health team’s director of data warehouse analytics. Her work is driven by a commitment to help promote transparency and clearer choices in health care access and equity.
Prior to joining HSRI, Yuan was a SQL data quality analyst at Hanger, Inc., where she analyzed the quality of purchase history data for prosthetic and orthotic clinics. Prior to that, Yuan worked as a data analytics consultant on internal consulting projects for the management groups of Fletcher Allen Health Care. In this role, she assessed a fee schedule for a hospital and developed a financial simulation tool to project the impacts of budget cuts to a graduate medical education program.
When not at work, Yuan enjoys reading, playing Sudoku, and long walks.
The part of my work that is most meaningful is catching and resolving the data issues for clients’ healthcare related data, so that the accurate information is provided to the public.
