Background
As Senior Vice President of Pricing and Business Intelligence, Aubrie Cunningham is the data analytics expert of MedRisk, the leading provider of managed physical medicine services for the workers’ comp industry and related market sectors.
Cunningham joined MedRisk as a Customer Service Professional in November 2013, a little over nine years after completing her Bachelors of Health Science from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. During this time, she was also obtaining her Master of Health Administration (MHA) with a concentration in Health Informatics at St Joseph’s University.
Shortly after, Cunningham moved into the role of Account Representative, supporting the executive account management team through data, analytics and reporting. During this time, she became more involved with a variety of client-facing projects and meetings, helping handle one of the company’s largest clients. In July 2015, she moved into a position as a Junior Process Engineer.
In the years that followed, Cunningham developed the Reporting team from a task-based team of three people to a business unit consisting of over 20 people from the US and overseas, specializing in Consultative Analytics and Business Intelligence. She was named Employee of the Year in 2019.
With her in-depth knowledge on the business, its processes, and workflows and her experience across multiple departments, Cunningham grew at an accelerated trajectory, allowing her to expand her role quickly from Supervisor, to Manager, to Director, to Vice President, and ultimately, Senior Vice President.
Today, Cunningham leads MedRisk’s department of data experts, a fundamental team that helps the organization make strategic business decisions based on data and trends.
Client Service
As Senior Vice President of Pricing and Business Intelligence, Aubrie Cunningham fully supports an international operation of over 1,000 employees for an organization that generates over $700M in revenue. As part of this role, she also spearheads the development and support of all internal analytics projects including day-to-day business support reporting, workflow and process transparency reporting, issue resolution reporting, trends reports, all client/provider pricing reports, revenue/margin/financial reporting, and health of organization reports.
In addition to internal projects, Cunningham is also the driving force behind the development and support of all external analytics projects. This includes stewardship presentations, an annual probe into each MedRisk client’s portfolio, evaluating performance, identifying trends, and determining opportunities. Moreover, she leads the creation of monthly/quarterly/annual performance reporting packages, trending details, and additional opportunity/leakage reporting.
Across the different roles she held in the organization, Cunningham has been actively involved in external client meetings, where she brings in an analytics approach on metrics being presented and discussed. By constantly working directly and engaging with clients, she is able to identify their specific reporting needs and gaps in metrics. In addition, she provides each of them with consultative support, allowing clients to expand their business intelligence dashboards as a method to better provide transparency for their program.
Expertise
Throughout her career in MedRisk and as its current principal resource in data and analytics, Aubrie Cunningham has been instrumental to the growth of the organization’s reporting capabilities.
With the intention of having a dedicated “one-stop shop” for MedRisk’s internal and external businesses, she led the formation and support of the company’s business intelligence unit. Working together with this team, Cunningham paved the way for the creation of several business intelligence dashboards that have been pivotal in providing insights for strategic decisions for clients. Among the dashboards developed were for Revenue Operations Insights (start-to-finish transparency into revenue operations cycles with distribution of work to employees and performance metrics), Provider Management Insights (provider monitoring including health of client, trends, and outcomes), Financial Reporting Metrics (supporting the organization’s Finance and Executive team in identifying trends, financial metrics, and decision-making), Account Management Performance Dashboard (insurer/TPA/employer monitoring including health of client, trends, and outcomes), Human Resources Insights (employment, tenure, and performance), Core Operations Insights (start-to-finish transparency into core operations cycles with distribution of work to employees and performance metrics), and KPI Insights (full internal business insights).
Furthermore, Cunningham advanced the addition of data science roles within MedRisk and improved modeling/predictive capabilities, including the creation of its Patient Risk Scoring model and Provider SmartMatch model.
