Healthcare Data Analysts interpret and analyze clinical data to improve healthcare outcomes and operational efficiency. They work with electronic health records (EHR), claims data, and other healthcare-related datasets to identify trends, patterns, and insights that can inform decision-making. Key responsibilities include data mining, statistical analysis, and reporting. Skills in SQL, data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI), and knowledge of healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA) are essential.
