When it comes to Healthcare and Compliance, you want to ensure your bases are covered! In my experience, I've focused on just that - supporting top healthcare and government organizations by conducting risk assessments, executing audits, performing security assessments, and assisting with the development and implementation of compliance policies and procedures. I've been incredibly intentional each step of the way and attended two of the best universities in the State of Florida before kickstarting my career at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center. Since then, I've partnered with the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center, Miami Jewish Health Systems, Alachua County Community Support Services, University of Central Florida Testing Center, Walgreens, and the Colorado Department of Labor. I've engaged in research projects and focused on the legal and compliance aspects of the field. Along the way, I've become highly regarded for the ability to support operational compliance with high attention to detail while managing employee training, expectations, and change management. Even within the confines of compliance, I leverage the ability to be an out-of-the-box thinker, prioritize, and get things done. Paired with the keen ability to maximize efficiencies, mitigate risk, and reduce costly errors, I help teams soar while positively impacting the bottom line. If you love process improvement and compliance as much as I do, let's connect!KEY AREAS OF IMPACT> Employee training: I designed Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) training materials focused on diversity and inclusion for 8 community health programs and developed employee training assets related to best practices and case documentation. > Compliance policies: I supported the Colorado Department of Labor Unemployment Insurance Division in the direct application of unemployment policies and in making determinations.> Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): On a daily basis, I showcase knowledge and experience in HIPAA Privacy and Security requirements and healthcare compliance demonstrated by previous roles with the VA Medical Center, public hospital systems, and pharmacy distribution companies. > IT compliance policies: I have formal education and coursework on Healthcare Management Information Systems as well as practical real-world experience in the field.> Investigations and audits: I interviewed claimants and employers to resolve unemployment eligibility claims in partnership with the Colorado Department of Labor.
