- Analyze structured and unstructured data (surveys, reviews, tickets, call summaries) to identify experience gaps and improvement opportunities.
- Translate patient and operational insights into actionable recommendations for product, clinical, and operational teams.
- Define and manage KPIs, SLAs, QA processes, and coaching programs to improve efficiency, quality, empathy, and brand adherence.
