03 ABOUT ME

About Manoj.

I’m Lourdhu Manoj Kataru, a healthcare professional with a pharmacy background and a master’s in Healthcare Informatics.

My work has brought me close to the details that connect care and reimbursement: patient records, medication workflows, insurance claims, authorizations, and payment follow-up.

I’m building on that experience through healthcare data analysis. The questions that interest me are practical: Where does information break down? What is causing repeat work? What does the data help a team do next?
