This month HealthAxis sits down with Leigh Ann Grey, OBIEE Developer. Leigh Ann talks about her department, challenges she has faced, and what she enjoys at HealthAxis.
Tell us about your department/team – what/who do they support and how?
I am a member of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) development team. Our team members perform tasks that ensure our tools and solutions are ready to support the healthcare market needs. Our team designs and develops all OBIEE solutions within the Administration tool. We create and maintain OBIEE reports and work closely with Business Analysts and Extract transfer and load (ETL) developers to ensure our solutions align with the business needs of our valued customers.
What wins or challenges have you/your department recently had?
A recent challenge that turned into a win was when I recently had the opportunity to learn a new reporting tool. Client requirements dictated the development of their current reports into another business intelligence tool. Although it was challenging, I took the opportunity to increase my knowledge and skills. After the project was complete, I felt confident in the new skill I had acquired.
There have also been challenges requiring the development of “out of the box” solutions. I particularly like being assigned and tackling these challenges when they increase my knowledge and abilities.
What have you learned from a client, partner, or coworker that has made an impact?
I especially enjoy working with the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) who does so much to help our warriors. We provide data and analytics to track treatment progress, patient participation, and other metrics that help improve their programs. WWP and their partner medical centers across the country use our analytics to find better ways to help our wounded warriors. Sometimes, in the day-to-day tasks, it is easy to forget that the data, analytics, and reports we provide are making an impactful difference in the health and lives of many.
What has been your favorite memory so far with HealthAxis?
Perhaps my favorite memory was when the Analytics Partners (AP) team met Shilen Patel, CEO of HealthAxis, for the first time in St. Augustine, FL. Meeting Shilen and hearing about his plans for HealthAxis was reassuring. Understanding long-term goals and how AP would fit into the plans created excitement about the upcoming transition. The goals included providing solutions and services to the healthcare industry to make patients healthier while reducing healthcare costs. I found his philosophy of Healthcare Rebooted to be very inspiring and was ready to join this innovative team.
