I started in Healthcare over 30 years ago as a Medical Technologist in the lab and in nuclear medicine which was part of the lab in my hospital. I still maintain my California Laboratory Scientist license. I moved from California to Utah and went to work for a lab system vendor which started my career in Healthcare IT. After several years, many system versions and implementations doing everything from marketing, to specs, to validation, training, build and support I moved to the consulting side doing implementations for FCG which was acquired by CSC, where I recently retired. When I was not working on an Epic project I was usually doing one-off projects such as Organ Transplant system planning, Bar Coding assessment, lab and pharmacy system implementations. Most recently I have been the Project Manager of a team implementing interfaces between Epic and other 3rd party systems as well as other 3rd party systems such as MS4, WORx, ECIN, Ingenious Med, PHacts, Sunquest, PACS, Midas et.al. concentrating on the eGate component for a large California IDN. I have recently retired and moved into the world of relaxation after 18 years in the consulting arena. It will take the perfect position to lure me away from my hobbies and my garden! Specialties: Epic Orders and Epic Beacon Certified 2012, Project Management, California Laboratory Scientist Licensure.
