Data Analyst 4 - Short Term - Remote

This engagement aims to transform a large Excel extract of potential duplicate patient encounters into a structured, interactive Power BI dashboard that supports data‑quality improvement and operational cleanup. The consultant will work with HIM, data governance, and clinical operations teams to define the criteria and visualizations needed to surface duplicate patterns, encounter clusters, and high‑risk records. The dashboard will help teams quickly identify duplicates, understand root causes, and prioritize remediation efforts. The resource may also be engaged in other Power BI work related to DBHDS as it arises if time in needed.
