Wyatt P. Bensken, PhD

Research Investigator & Adjunct Assistant Professor of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences

OCHIN, Inc

Case Western Reserve University

I am a Research Investigator at OCHIN where I serve as the Dual Principal Investigator of the ADVANCE Clinical Research Network, Co-Director of the AIM-AHEAD Research Fellowship, Research Policy Liaison, and Co-Lead the Quantitative Science Core. Additionally, I hold an appointment as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Population & Quantitative Health Sciences in the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.

My expertise is in the use of complex health care data, paired with traditional statistical and novel machine learning approaches, to identify opportunities to improve health, health care, and health outcomes for all. I apply these approaches across a wide range of complex chronic conditions (e.g., epilepsy/seizure, cancer, multimorbidity, and emergency general surgery), social conditions (e.g., social drivers of health, social risk, housing insecurity), and policy domains (e.g., Medicaid, quality measures, payment innovations).

Below you’ll find summaries of my recent work, with full details on my CV.
