With a particular interest in human factor engineering and applied systems thinking, Tyler designs reporting tools and analytic workflows to intentionally spur interdisciplinary creativity across non-traditional collaborators centered on a commonly understood dataset. Previously, Tyler consulted healthcare executives preparing rural hospitals, independent providers, and clinically integrated networks for Fee-For-Value healthcare payment transformation and the business of population health. Tyler also served as an analytics leader re-engineering quality improvement analytics for a health system serving the most diverse region in the country. Connecting cross-functional operational, clinical, and financial leaders on novel population data sets, Tyler is passionate in the pursuit of leveraging data to improve the health and well-being of the UH patient population.
