What’s your role at Nuna and what do you do?

I am a Health Data Analyst on the customer solutions team at Nuna. As a team, we engage with payers and providers to understand their pain points with respect to managing value-based contracts, scope out their requirements and configure and adapt our products to meet their needs. One of the key drivers for the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care is providing payers and health systems with tools to track and monitor contract performance while also enabling them to measure progress on closing care gaps and improving patient outcomes.

In this role, I am working closely with our product implementation teams to onboard clients to our value platform while also providing inputs for future development work and informing product roadmaps.

What drew you to join Nuna’s team?

People, purpose and position.

People — During my interviews with Nuna, I got the opportunity to interact with people from different functions and what struck me through those conversations, was the genuine passion for transforming healthcare and turning challenges into opportunities for fueling innovation and growth. Coming into this role, my expectations were well set!

Purpose — Nuna was founded with a deep sense of purpose — to help make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. I believe in the mission of the company and the need to support other Nunas out there with better healthcare experiences. What can be more fulfilling than impacting real lives through your work?

Position — This role is a natural extension to my prior work — building population health management solutions to enable health systems and care teams transform care delivery and improve patient outcomes. I am excited about the opportunity to continue contributing to the field of value-based care, working on challenging problems with our team of incredibly talented and accomplished Nunas!

What is your ideal work environment?

I enjoy working in a collaborative, engaging and ownership-driven environment. As a data analyst, my role involves working with cross-functional stakeholders and collaboration plays a key role in being able to collectively work towards a goal. I enjoy the process of learning through different perspectives which sometimes serves as a valuable input to my own work and sparks an alternative way of thinking about problems. Another motivator for me is an environment where during the decision-making process, questions are encouraged and opinions and/or suggestions are well-received. Last but not the least, an own-it culture rooted in trust to always do the right thing.

In a world filled with wonder, where would you most like to travel and why?

Watch the ‘goraikou’ (sunrise) at Mt. Fuji summit. The experience of hiking at high elevation in a rocky terrain will be challenging but I have heard that the views are rewarding. Also, mountains make me feel peaceful.

With which of the 6 Nuna values do you identify the most and why?

Rise by lifting others: It recognizes our collective responsibility to build a culture grounded in respect, compassion and inclusion which enables Nunas to do their best work.

Our products in healthcare data analytics serve the needs of such a diverse group of people that inclusivity can help us tap into the collective expertise of folks and educate our product features as we strive to create cost-effective and high-quality healthcare experiences for the people we serve.
