Session Title: How Data Analytics Was Used to Address the ‘Twindemic’: COVID-19 and the Opioid
Epidemic

Lyd has 15 years of experience utilizing analytics to drive process improvement programs across the healthcare continuum. As an analyst at the Massachusetts General Hospital, she developed programs to support patients in the oncology department ensuring that those receiving medical care also had access to the financial vehicles available under the MassHealth Program, the precursor to the Affordable Care Act.

She later moved into the chronic condition space at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, working with physicians to build programs to address quality, affordability, and patient satisfaction measures for patients with Hypertension, Diabetes, and Asthma.

Transitioning to healthcare policy, Lyd worked at the Pacific Business Group on Health where she supported the work of the Covered California insurance platform for the Affordable Care Act, addressing the patient satisfaction measures and the Medicare Advantage measures used to qualify products offered on the exchange. While there Lyd also worked with FQHCs and Safety Net Programs funded by Medicaid and MediCal to care for the 7 million under and uninsured Californians.

At Stanford HealthCare Lyd developed and implemented a comprehensive and integrated program to drive value-based care delivery with a focus on staying healthy and managing chronic conditions. More recently Lyd supported startups and medical-devices as they built their US market share and developed business strategies including developing white papers and tool kits, pricing for reimbursement in the commercial healthcare space, data collection methodologies, and actionable Key Performance Indicator reports that can be used to drive improvement.

As the Senior Director at Qlarion, Lyd oversees the FAACT (Framework for Addiction Analysis and Community Transformation) platform that allows data to be shared and compiled across government agencies to address complex Social Determinants of Health by identifying need and opportunity for public health and public safety programs as well as the rapidly growing Healthcare Practices Portfolio.

Lyd has a BA, MA, & MBA
