Howard Friedman
- Adjunct Professor of Health Policy and Management
Overview
My research covers areas of Machine Learning, Applied Statistics and Health Economics. Within the public sector, I work at UNFPA focusing where some of my key work has been in the area of health costing including the development of the OneHealth Tool and the Impact40 toolkit. I led the technical aspects of our UN agency's development of investment cases also support the development and analysis of national and sub-national health strategic plans. I was a director of modeling at Capital One and later led many retrospective data studies involving health economics and outcomes research and developed Machine learning courses for the private sector.
My books on public policy include 2012's Measure of a Nation, healthcare 2020's Ultimate Price and textbooks related applied statistics. My peer-review publications focus mostly on health economics and outcomes research.
