This unit explores how data analytics transforms reimbursement accuracy, risk adjustment integrity, and value-based performance in modern healthcare systems. Learners examine how claims, encounter, and clinical data are used to identify trends, predict financial outcomes, and support compliance with payer requirements. The unit introduces the tools and methods used in data-driven decision-making, such as predictive modeling, visualization dashboards, and financial benchmarking. Learners gain practical experience using healthcare datasets to analyze cost, utilization, and risk score trends. The course also covers regulatory drivers including CMS audit requirements, RADV validation, and HIPAA data standards emphasizing how robust analytics enhance transparency, reduce denials, and optimize payment accuracy. By the end of the unit, learners are equipped to interpret data insights that improve revenue forecasting, risk modeling, and value-based reimbursement strategies.
