Christina Compher

Christina has spent the last 15 years leading and supporting programs and projects aimed at improving health among various population groups. Chris now supports multiple HMS contracts, providing expertise on project components that are research-based and data-focused. This includes leading state performance data analysis and reporting on several contracts and serving as principal investigator in the evaluation of the state performance standards system (SPSS) and development of revision recommendations. For one project, she developed and streamlined the data abstraction and review process which boosted HMS’ ability to produce more than the required number of reports while remaining on-budget.

Her familiarity with quality of care and outcomes research (QCOR), data.medicare.gov, and SPSS continues to benefit HMS’ customers, as Chris is able to identify trends and make recommendations for future priorities. Chris develops study designs, manages data, conducts data analyses, performs environmental scans and literature reviews, writes reports, trains staff, and develops survey and interview instruments. She has a Masters of Health Science in epidemiology from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Most recently, Chris was asked to support the State of Texas by collecting and analyzing COVID-19 data to fuel decision making and develop much needed public policies.
