Clinical Operations Analytics Path

The chart says one thing. The codes say another.
Translate them and the board listens.

Practice the SQL patterns hospital hiring managers actually recognize: ICD-10 ↔ CCSR terminology joins, principal vs. secondary diagnosis logic, POA gotchas, HCC risk tiering, and the LEFT-JOIN-vs-INNER-JOIN trap that silently breaks production healthcare dashboards. Curriculum modeled on the patterns named in CMS-HCC, AHRQ CCSR, and the Tuva Project.

Why This Path

Real Terminology Joins

Practice ICD-10 → CCSR → HCC the way Cogito and Caboodle analysts do — the foundational pattern absent from every other SQL learning platform.

Principal vs. Secondary Logic

Cohort patients by principal diagnosis, aggregate comorbidities on those encounters — the HCC-recapture pattern run quarterly at every ACO and Medicare Advantage plan.

Production-Grade Gotchas

POA NULL handling, ICD-9 legacy detection, and the LEFT-JOIN-vs-INNER-JOIN trap that’s the #1 silent bug in healthcare reporting.

Resume-Grade Capstone

Multi-CTE patient-level HCC chronic-burden score with risk tiering. “Built a multi-CTE chronic-disease burden score with HCC risk tiering” lands cleanly with every health-system, ACO, payer, and HealthTech hiring manager.

The Database

Hospital operations star schema (shared with Provider Analytics path) plus authentic ICD-10 terminology and per-encounter diagnosis tables. ~5,800+ rows including ~5 legacy ICD-9 codes that survived the 2015 cutover (LEFT JOIN audit target), POA documentation gaps on ~9% of principal diagnoses, and a hidden coding shift on encounter 42 where the admit dx differs from the principal.
