Background

About Frank Farach

I help healthcare and life sciences organizations use data - from bench to bedside to boardroom - to achieve their most important goals: delivering cures, providing high-quality care, lowering costs, and enhancing the experience of their patients and workforce. I have led or advised on high-impact, enterprise-wide data and analytics initiatives with C-suite sponsorship at $1B+ healthcare systems, state and national trade associations, Fortune 500 life sciences companies, research networks, and academic institutions. I work closely with my clients at all stages, from clarifying vision and strategy to designing, implementing, and evaluating operating models for complex, data-intensive programs, products, and services. My work is informed by perspectives based on a 20+ year career as a research scientist, data scientist, product manager, program manager, and informatics consultant. In addition to my professional work, I have maintained an active interest and involvement in the open science and reproducible research communities- As a contributor to open science initiatives, including co-authorship on a large-scale effort to estimate the reproducibility of research in psychology (https://tinyurl.com/2p87mz57)- As a speaker at biomedical informatics and R user conferences on best practices in data management and data quality (e.g, https://tinyurl.com/yrxwxtfu)- As the developer of a peer-reviewed R package providing programmatic access to the U.S. National Provider Identifier Registry from R (https://tinyurl.com/npi-r-package)
