• Build and maintain recurring productivity/compensation dashboards (Excel and/or Power BI)

Data Integrity, Documentation & Compliance Support:

• Validate consistency of provider-level RVU and compensation data across coding, billing, and comp/HR systems; investigate and resolve discrepancies at the source
• Document modeling methodology and assumptions so results are reproducible and auditable

Other:

• Coordinate with Gillette's enterprise Data Analytics/IT department as needed for source-system data access, extracts, and infrastructure this role owns the physician compensation modeling itself
