Most recently, Pandit served as Vice President, Predictive Analytics at HMS, where he was responsible for leading the Analytics capability for the Population Health Management Solution.

“I’m very excited about the potential of utilizing data Sandata has been collecting for 30 years,” said Pandit. “It’s about how to gather information about the patient—through claims, electronic medical records, social determinants of health—and how to combine all that to risk stratify the patient. Here at Sandata, our comprehensive, interoperable solutions, and the insights the data produces, make us uniquely positioned to predict future outcomes and design proper care plans.”
“We already help our customers track their operational metrics. With the increased breadth of information collected from within the home and Kirit’s proven success in analytics, we will be able to provide our customers with actionable data insights to run their business more efficiently while serving their members better.” said Srini Achukola, Chief Technology Officer. “Sandata is positioned to be the leader in data analytics in home care.”
Pandit believes that, in the emerging value-based care world, being able to provide both retrospective and prospective views will be paramount for designing whole-person patient care programs, thus optimizing cost and quality of care at the same time. He will lead the team in strategic engagements utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to transform data into tangible solutions that will continue to cement Sandata’s position as the industry leader in home health.
