I was hired to develop a plan for and drive implementation of a 3-year, $3M Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contract across 29 hospitals. To do so, I led the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) and Partnership for Patients collaboration. I managed 10 direct reports whose roles included clinical care, quality improvement, and data analytics.𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒:✔ Won and/or managed 5 CMS contracts worth a combined $15.8M by developing proposals and leading implementation efforts. Three of these proposals were the direct result of my proposal writing and prior success managing CMS contracts.✔ Reduced patient harm events 40% and avoidable hospital readmissions 20% across all hospitals in 3 years. To reduce patient harm events, I identified falls experts and pressure points in each hospital among the 29 I was responsible for, then worked collaboratively to establish best practices that included virtual check-ins, signage with standardized color scheme, and special footwear. To tackle avoidable readmissions—a notoriously difficult, multifactorial problem—I mobilized community organizations to help mitigate readmission causes such as homelessness and barriers to medication access.✔ Scored above 97% for employee engagement for 4 years running. I was distinguished as a Tier 1 leader, which is the highest level possible at Atrium Health.✔ Architected an antibiotics stewardship program that resulted in 139.7K fewer days of antibiotic therapy use among patients. I worked with physicians to identify over-prescribed medicines and then fostered physician-to-physician conversations about the importance of reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.
