In April 2026, delivered two core capabilities for CMSgov/beneficiary-fhir-data that tighten KPI visibility and improve reporting fidelity, directly supporting strategic targets and data-driven decision-making. Key features delivered: - QuickSight Analytics Update for 2026 Target: updated the QuickSight analysis to reflect the 2026 north-star metric, adjusted progress calculation toward the target, and refreshed the label to clearly communicate the new target. (Commit: c62b1772d867e76dcbf51be3d72e922b58ddf987; BB2-4644) - Extended Data Extraction to Include v3 Metrics for Reporting: enhanced data extraction to pull in v3 metrics alongside v2, and ensured correct handling of both v2 and v3 identifiers for comprehensive reporting. (Commit: a8b0946c0ccc6c70ee10c53d95eb10007bb39a47; BB2-4741) Major bugs fixed: - Notable improvements to data consistency in cross-version reporting by aligning metric identifiers and ensuring v3 metrics are accessible in QS dashboards, reducing discrepancies between v2 and v3 reporting outputs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened business value by producing more accurate, timely KPI dashboards aligned with the 2026 strategy; improved confidence for stakeholders when tracking progress and making investment decisions. - Reduced manual reconciliation in reporting pipelines and eliminated gaps in v2/v3 metric coverage, enabling more complete quarterly/board-ready reporting. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Data extraction and ETL optimization, version-aware metric handling (v2/v3) - QuickSight dashboard design and KPI modeling - Infrastructure as code alignment (Terraform) for KPI targets - SQL/data modeling and cross-system data integrity This work positions the analytics stack to scale for ongoing 2026 target tracking and supports data-driven governance across beneficiary-fhir-data reporting.
