My clinical practice spans both outpatient and inpatient settings, where I've consistently aimed to enhance patient outcomes and reduce complications through strategic initiatives.Throughout my career, I have played a pivotal role in shaping the orthopedic service line across six hospitals in Cincinnati. My efforts have focused on achieving Joint Commission Certification for total joint programs, resulting in significant improvements in patient outcomes and establishing our local reputation as a leader in orthopedic care. I have been able to expand my reach through creating an educational program aimed at our beside orthopaedic nurses and helping them to gain certification in their specialty. I possess a deep understanding of current national benchmarks and programs, including CMS projects like BPCI/CJR and the newly implemented Patient Reported Outcomes initiative. In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, I believe that staying informed on the latest standards is crucial for enhancing patient experiences.Recently, I’ve helped in developing a program utilizing remote monitoring software to transform patient education and engagement. I am also enthusiastic about the potential of AI-assisted protocols to revolutionize patient interactions and community outreach—an initiative I see as vital to the future of healthcare. I have been part of a team that is bringing this new technology into our service line to allow patients to have a better experience in all facets of care.My passion lies in helping patients regain their functional abilities, whether through surgical procedures, physical therapy, or innovative biologic treatments. Witnessing their progress brings immense satisfaction and drives my commitment to this field.Beyond my professional life, I am actively involved in the community and local youth sports programs, both as a coach and in providing sideline medical care for young athletes. With a background as a former Athletic Trainer, sports and medicine continue to be integral to my career and personal enjoyment.Let’s connect and explore ways to enhance patient care and drive innovation in healthcare together!
