Summary
Shada Kanchanasuwan is a Population Health Data Scientist with nine years of experience turning complex health data into actionable programs that improve outcomes and reduce costs. With a PhD in Pharmaceutical Health Services and hands-on expertise in SQL, Python, PySpark, Power Platform, and Tableau, she has built predictive models and real-time dashboards that improved coaching effectiveness by 40% and converted a PCMH program from loss to profitability. Her work auditing HEDIS claims and identifying data gaps led to an $80,000 Performance Guarantee waiver, and she serves as an in-house expert on Certilytics claims analytics to target high-cost, high-risk members. She blends clinical training as a Pharm.D. and former clinical pharmacist with advanced analytics, enabling pragmatic solutions like SDoH indices and model monitoring that drove model retraining and sustained trust. A practiced communicator, she delivers highly rated education on DPP and presents findings to stakeholders to support program scaling, and—less expected—teaches Zumba locally, reflecting an affinity for translating health science into community engagement.
