As the co-founder of HealthDataViz, Kathy built a nationally recognized woman-owned small business that specializes in helping health and healthcare organizations analyze and communicate data visually so that they can confidently make informed decisions. She advised providers, payers, policymakers, regulatory agencies, and public health groups on how to align their systems; design dashboards, reports, and interactive tools; and develop staff to analyze and communicate data clearly and compellingly. Kathy is an expert in risk-adjustment methodology; clinical, financial, and operational outcomes; and surfacing complex concepts like these in an understandable way through data visualization. Her achievements include establishing the Mass General Hospital (MGH) Codman Center for Clinical Effectiveness, launching the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) to over 300 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada, and the publication of numerous high-profile articles. She also led the team that redesigned and redeployed the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Community Health Profiles and Epiquery statistical query tools. Other clients have included Grady Health, Medstar Health, World Health Organization, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and the MA Center for Health Information and Analytics All Payer Database.
