Five Federal Health Analytics Leaders in GovCon

The use of data analytics in the federal health sector gives agencies powerful insights to inform decision making processes and accelerate missions.

Over at the Department of Veterans Affairs, predictive analytics is being leveraged to identify veterans who are at the most risk of committing suicide. The VA’s REACH VET system examines over 100 variables and yields results that indicate the highest level of risk within the Veterans Health Administration.

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced plans in August 2021 to establish a center for forecasting and outbreak analytics intended to provide public health officials with the necessary information to mitigate the effects of existing and future disease threats.

The Potomac Officers Club—a division of Executive Mosaic—features five federal health analytics leaders in the government contracting industry.
