Oversight of organizational quality improvement and compliance with regulatory standards to enhance the care our colleague provide.

Pontiac, Michigan

As the regulatory leader, I drove change in the organization to improve the safe delivery of care to our patients and improved the environment in which our colleagues worked. By working with multidisciplinary teams, we were able to achieve regulatory readiness by improving structures, processes, and developing innovative systems to achieve an extremely successful Joint Commission Survey.

Troy, Mi

As an Administrative Fellow, I was given the opportunity to work alongside senior leadership on high level projects to improve the quality of care for our patients. By engaging stakeholders from the front lines of the hospital and aligning them with organizational priorities, we were able to implement meaningful change within the ministry. Additionally, by implementing these changes, I was able to successfully achieve my Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt.

In Cardiac Rehab, my primary job was to educate cardiac patients, in an inpatient setting, on how to manage their own health. My focus was especially on patients with Congestive Heart Failure, STEMI, NSTEMI, or recent CABG. The goal of this education as to ensure patients could take care of themselves once they were discharged from the hospital. My secondary goal was to decrease cardiac patient's length of stay by daily ambulation. Daily ambulation prevented the patient from deconditioning in the hospital and built the patients strength up for discharge. If a patient required home assistive devices or assistance at home, I would organize this through working with the patient's case manager. While working inpatient, I also worked in Outpatient Cardiac Rehab. The goal of Outpatient Cardiac Rehab, is to keep patients from returning to the hospital. The patients would return for 12 weeks (or 36 visits), where I would continue to teach the patients the importance of self care and develop an exercise program with the patient. I would then lead the patient through the exercises to rebuild the patient's cardiac strength.
