Expert in healthcare compliance with 8 years of experience shepherding patients through the medical system to provide comprehensive support and care. Provide timely responses to patients, colleagues, and partners, either answering questions directly or making appropriate connections to ensure their needs are met. Due to being culturally bilingual in English and Spanish, I have helped Spanish-speaking patients maneuver the healthcare system and feel respected and heard in the process. In all matters, I create a safe space, adhering to all confidentiality and HIPAA regulations.I stay current on compliance-related laws and regulations through personal initiative as well as attending seminars and training programs.Talent areas include:Risk AssessmentCompliance PoliciesAudits & ReviewsRegulatory RequirementsReports & PresentationsTeamwork & CollaborationPatient EducationFact GatheringAction PlansHIPAA & ConfidentialityStrategic PlanningData AnalysisMentoring & TrainingDocumentationEvaluations & InterviewingWhen not at work, I love to travel and have visited London, Paris, Spain, and Chile so far. Due to my travels, I enjoy trying all kinds of new cuisine and sometimes find the best experiences in tiny hole-in-the-wall spots. Mostly, I’m just a happy person, and when I’m not traveling or eating, you can find me reading or spending some quality time with my Yorkie.I look forward to connecting with you here or directly at kpm4castro@gmail.com.
