SANTA FE — The New Mexico Health Care Authority (HCA) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Office of Data and Analytics (ODA), a pioneering team dedicated to leveraging data-driven strategies to improve health outcomes across New Mexico.
“We’re excited to launch the Office of Data and Analytics bringing on talented professionals who are ready to make a real difference,” said Kari Armijo, HCA Cabinet Secretary. “The data office will allow us to leverage advanced analytics to support decision-making that leads to better, more equitable health outcomes policies for New Mexicans.”
The ODA will also lead HCA’s evolution from descriptive analytics, or understanding what has happened, to cognitive insights, or using automation to provide guidance in decision making. This development will empower HCA to implement forward-thinking, data-informed policies that address both immediate and future health challenges across the state.
Data and analytics already play an important role in the state’s health and human services. For example, HCA analysts recently created a model to understand the factors that influence application processing to increase efficiency for benefit programs. Analysts performed statistical analysis to project caseworkers’ capacity constraints, allowing managers to anticipate surges and make staffing changes. This data-driven approach significantly reduced the application processing time.
HCA is seeking data professionals, analysts, and experts who want to be on the forefront of transforming health care and safety-net program decisions through data. Candidates ready to bring their skills to the service of New Mexicans are encouraged to apply.
