Predictive Analytics

[koki]

Hi,

I an RN with experience working in inpatient clinical environment, an analytics department and an informatics department.  In my current position I currently use EMR data, mostly allscripts, to analyze workflow.  I am pretty versed in SQL and tableau at this point.

I also have a degree in epidemiology and have some experience with R in a grad school setting.  My currently position always me to use whatever tools I want to accomplish some tasks.  I have some freedom to investigate my own areas of interest.

Mostly I work alone and was wondering if there is anyone out there in a similar position as mine.  Anyone who has used R or similar program/languages to develop predictive models either using nursing data or develop models that would benefit nursing in some fashion.  

I wonder what other organizations are doing in this space that I occupy.

Hi Koki, 

I have a friend who is also a nurse who taught himself SQL, and now has the current title of Senior Analytics Engineer and I'm pretty sure he works in predictive health analysis. I am interested in database management and analysis and also telehealth informatics so I took his advice and am teaching myself SQL. Sometime in the future I would like to work for a company that does predictive health analysis also. 

The organization he mentioned at the time is called Health Catalyst.
