Nikhila Veeramalla Résumé
Healthcare IT Project Management

NikhilaVeeramalla

Healthcare IT project manager with 5 years in healthcare.

I lead Agile delivery at ToothSure, a healthcare software company, with a cross-functional team of 18 across onshore and offshore. Process improvement and workflow automation cut our cycle time by 40% and conserved a quarter of the early-stage budget.

I came to project management from clinical operations and EHR/EMR systems work, so my releases are gated on what clinicians and compliance teams need: UAT with clinical reviewers, compliance checks and go-live readiness before anything ships.

01  Profile

Delivery, grounded in clinical experience.

I run Agile delivery for healthcare software with distributed onshore and offshore teams. Working in clinical operations before moving into delivery taught me which workflows break under pressure, which compliance requirements are not negotiable, and what clinical reviewers need to see before they sign off a release.

03  Lab

Working tools, built to be tried.

Working tools, not screenshots. The first three run entirely in your browser on synthetic data, so nothing is uploaded. The rest are open source on GitHub, with tests and made-up example data.

PHI De-identification & Re-identification Risk

Paste a clinical note and every HIPAA Safe Harbor identifier is detected, categorised and redacted — then scored for the re-identification risk that survives. Safe Harbor and Limited Data Set are separate modes, because they retain different things.

45 CFR §164.514  ·  NPI/DEA/VIN/MBI checksums  ·  span resolution  ·  k-anonymity estimate

Clinical AI Readiness Assessment

A structured go/no-go for a proposed clinical AI use case, scored across patient safety, regulatory posture, data provenance, bias, workflow fit and governance. A hard blocker overrides the total score — because a high average should never outvote "no human in the loop".

21st Century Cures Act CDS carve-out  ·  IMDRF risk categories  ·  weighted scoring  ·  generated risk register

EMR Data Quality Profiler

Profiles an EHR-style dataset for completeness, conformance and plausibility, and rules on whether it is fit to train a model. It flags the dangerous failure specifically: missingness that correlates with a grouping variable rather than occurring at random.

Kahn data-quality framework  ·  non-random missingness  ·  unit-switch detection  ·  ICD-10/CPT conformance

raid-log: RAID Log as Code

Keeps a project's risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies in a YAML file next to the code. It validates the register, writes a steering-meeting status report, draws a risk heatmap, and shows what changed since the last meeting.

Python  ·  command line  ·  risk exposure scoring  ·  git-aware diffs
