YOUR TEAM

The mission of the Health Data team within Nuna is to harness healthcare data to support and promote value-based care contracts between health systems, providers, health plans, and other third-party risk bearing entities; incentivize quality, utilization, and patient outcomes.Operationalizing value-based arrangements has various complexities due to the variability in both contract configurations and measurement of health outcomes.

The Health Data team is also responsible for the comprehension, ingestion, cleaning, and deploying of client data on schedule - ensuring data gets where it needs to go within the company. We care about high value care health care, which is why we highly value quality and consistency down to the detail.
