Experienced Executive with a demonstrated history of working in the hospital & health care industry. In my 30+ years in health care, I have led both nursing and non-nursing departments, serving as Vice President of Operations, Associate Administrator, Chief Nursing Officer, and Regional Home Care Administrator. In addition, I have over 20 years of executive consulting experience within the healthcare industry, providing transformational services to community, academic, for-profit, and nonprofit healthcare facilities. I have led strategic academic improvement initiatives focused on case management, care coordination, disease management, clinical resource utilization, clinical documentation improvement, patient throughput, revenue cycle, supply chain, and hospital cost management. As a consulting executive I have led innovative, enterprise-wide initiatives that improved the financial position of the hospital or healthcare system while simultaneously improving the quality of patient care and the patient experience. My background has afforded me the opportunity to discover, observe, and implement evidence based best practices throughout the United States. I am a strong leader with a focus on team building, education, mentorship, and empowerment coupled with accountability. I am considered, by staff, to be a compassionate and strong leader who promotes professional development, high standards, and a focus on outcomes. Peers would consider me to be strategic, knowledgeable, truthful, trustworthy and someone who delivers.
