Title: Advanced Analytics for Advanced Healthcare

Abstract:  Data science has become a hot topic for both academic and professional work, as it should be. We are living in a time where information is being generated and captured at unfathomable rates. What would you do with all of this information? If your line research, marketing, operations (or any type of scalable work for that matter), is collecting data in such a way to answer questions or generate value for this line of business that you are in, you will need to have a data science team. In this talk, we will try to outline what this practice looks like for us as we try to find talented individuals that fit these descriptions. Express Scripts leverages data science for building a better pharmaceutical beneficiary management system. With the insights gained from this work, we are able to improve member health outcomes and provide better service and value to our members and clients.
