Data & Analytics

Courtney Powell is an IT Consultant with Duke Health Technology Solutions, specializing in Epic Interoperability. With more than 17 years of Epic experience, she has served as technical lead for ambulatory and previously as team lead for MyChart and MedLink, supporting major integrations, Radiant workflows, and cross application workflow design. She holds a bachelor of science in nuclear medicine technology from Old Dominion University, a foundation that strengthens her ability to build tools aligned with real clinical workflows.

I’m a multi-certified Epic analyst with over a decade of experience across several modules. I developed a strong passion for population health, because it lets me support clinicians who care for our community’s most vulnerable patients. I enjoy building tools that improve workflows, close care gaps, and help teams deliver more proactive, equitable care.

I have been with Duke Health since 2016, working in various healthcare engineering roles. I have a bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering from North Carolina State University and a master of business administration degree from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I have a passion for utilizing data and analytics to provide insights to clinicians to help improve the access and quality of care that we provide to our patients.

Kendell is an experienced clinician with a diverse background in patient care and advocacy. She started her journey with Duke Health in 2020 as a licensed registered nurse prior to her transition to the Population Health Management Office’s Data and Analytics team. She has a passion for problem solving, critical thinking, and improving processes to help guide decisions that facilitate positive outcomes for the populations that Duke Health serves.

Kevin is a Software Developer. After serving in the US Army, he decided to pursue his interest in technology, obtaining a master’s degree in computer science. Kevin hopes his work will contribute to the improvement of health outcomes for the populations served by Duke Health.

After working in a non-technical role—but being exposed to the data side of work—I found out I have a big interest in working with data, so healthcare and health system data is a natural fit. I am happy to be a part of PHMO’s efforts to more effectively deliver quality healthcare to underserved populations in the surrounding area.

A self-confessed computer nerd since an early age, Michael veered off temporarily to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering only to find himself back into the software development world. Ever since, he has worked designing and implementing software for a number of industries and eventually settled down in the health sector, hoping to contribute to the effort of providing the best quality health care possible.
