The corrected release reads:
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES WINS
THE HUMANA-MAYS HEALTH CARE ANALYTICS CASE COMPETITION
The student team of Ozgur Cetinok, Leah Kelly, and Erica
Millwater from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has
won the $30,000 First Place prize in the Humana-Mays Health Care
Analytics 2019 Case Competition sponsored by health and well-being
company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) and Mays Business School at Texas
A&M University.
Over 1,300 masters level students representing over 80 major
universities in the U.S. registered for the national competition to
compete for $52,500 in total prizes. The third annual competition
was open to all accredited educational institutions based in the
United States. Full-time and part-time master's students from
accredited Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Information
Systems, Master of Public Health, Master of Business Administration
programs, or other similar master’s programs in business,
healthcare, or analytics, were eligible to enter.
Ozgur Cetinok, Leah Kelly, and Erica Millwater received the top
prize following a presentation Thursday, Nov. 14 to an executive
panel of judges at Texas A&M’s Mays Business School’s
CityCentre Houston location. The Second Place prize of $15,000 was
awarded to Saurabh Annadate and Tanya Tandon from Northwestern
University, while the Third Place prize of $7,500 was presented to
Hong Gao, Shuyu Wang and Jie Yang from New York University
(NYU).
“This contest is an excellent way for students to practice their
analytical skills on the current challenges we face in health
care,” said Heather Cox, Chief Digital Health and Analytics Officer
for Humana. “Their creativity and passion is impressive, and those
qualities are exactly what we need as we continue to leverage
technology to simplify health care for consumers.”
The analytics case received by the students was designed to be
multi-faceted and complex, similar to a real-world business
problem. This year’s competition focused on chronic pain and the
treatment of this condition through long-term opioid therapy, which
has increased dramatically over the past two decades. According to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 1 in 4
patients receiving long-term opioid therapy in a primary care
setting will struggle with opioid disorder. Using de-identified
data, the students were asked to predict long-term opioid therapy
post initial treatment. The goal is to identify patients at risk
for continued long-term use of opioid therapies allowing for early
intervention.
“Mays Business School is a model academic institution
championing responsible research and teaching on every aspect of
decision making in businesses. To that end, I am pleased that the
students’ analyses will help Humana shape the way the industry
delivers healthcare to alleviate the opioid epidemic,” says Arvind
Mahajan, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs at Mays Business
School. “This case study is an example of how students learn to
apply their analytical skills to solve complex business problems
which can have a social impact, and in this case, improve the lives
of patients and their families.”
The teams were judged based on the following criteria:
- Ability to establish key performance indicators aligned to
business needs
- Quantitative analysis identifying key business insights
- Ability to provide unique insights for business
improvements
- Professionalism and visualization skills
This is the third year of the competition, which has grown to be
one of the top healthcare analytics case competitions in country.
In its inaugural year in 2017, the competition attracted more than
300 master’s degree candidates representing 109 teams from 19 major
universities in the U.S.
