When I first began working in healthcare analytics as a Quality Data Analyst at CareFirst Home Health, I uncovered an uncomfortable truth: thousands of patients were waiting in emergency rooms for care they didn't truly need, while those in critical condition faced dangerous delays. Working with over 3,000 patients, I identified preventable ER trends that were costing health systems millions of dollars annually. The breaking point came when I analyzed data showing that hospitals weren't overwhelmed from lack of compassion—they were struggling from a system that lacked coordination and intelligent patient navigation. Rural hospitals were closing at alarming rates while urban ERs were flooded with non-emergency cases that could have been better managed through proper triage. That's when I founded CheckFirstCare—not just as another healthcare technology company, but as a mission to transform how we deliver care. Our AI-powered patient triage platform helps hospitals, clinics, and telemedicine providers reduce unnecessary ER visits, streamline patient intake, and enhance clinical decision-making through advanced health data analytics.
