About Bitscopic

Bitscopic is a profitable, founder-owned healthcare data and analytics company. We run a long-standing research and development partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, with data spanning all 1,300 VA facilities and more than 10 million patient records. Our platform powers clinical surveillance, genomics, and public health products used across one of the largest integrated health systems in the country.

• Tune query and schema performance against high-volume clinical data: analyze execution plans, rewrite expensive queries, design indexing and partitioning strategies, and manage optimizer statistics.
• Own Oracle schema design and evoluti...
