Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Report
Project Goals
U.S. healthcare Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) is a significant problem accounting for billions of dollars in annual losses. This misuse of resources undermines both the cost and quality of health care provided to patients. As a summer intern at GoInvo, I researched, designed, and created a report to provide insights into this large-scale problem.
Project Results
Market Research
I conducted secondary market research to determine the loss of US Healthcare spending to FWA. To calculate this total, my team set a common vocabulary of definitions and categories for common types of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. I spoke with FWA experts to solidify these definitions and calculations.UI Design
Once the research was complete, I designed the layout and structure of the article to accurately tell a story. This included designing the full webpage, creating informative charts and graphics, and drawing images. The final section of the article suggests new solutions to improve the problem. I designed the UIs for a mobile Health Accuracy Receipt and a desktop FWA Tracker.Development
As part of the GoInvo website, I developed a responsive webpage for mobile and desktop. The full article can be seen using the buttons below.
Skills Used
MA Services Data Visualization
Project Goals
Massachusetts offers many benefits to residents who need assistance. Most of these services require long applications, which are all built on different systems. This makes getting benefits timely and inefficient for residents. In an effort to demonstrate this issue, I created a website to visualize these services.
Project Results
The data visualization is formed using data in JSON files and illustrated using D3. It showcases the quantity of MA services in a tree map, and government spending for each service by color. The visualization shows important statistics for each service in both tree and table view. The eligibility criteria are shown on desktop view, with quick access to applications, which creates a centralized site for all services.
