While working collaboratively with the executive team as a senior administrator, I prioritize and direct the implementation of key strategic initiatives within the organization. I oversee 7 directors and am responsible for leading over 500 staff who support Riverside’s clinical services. My fiscal duties include P&L management, multimillion dollar budgetary oversight, cost-control, and forecasting. Throughout my tenure, I have developed and implemented value-added strategies to enhance performance on operational metrics, thus improving quality of care, profitability, and program sustainability. As a strong team is key to success, I also play a role in recruiting and mentoring clinical and non-clinical directors and managers, as well as new physicians. Critical Successes: • Growth and Strategic Partnership Initiatives: I increased market share and pediatric census by designing 24/7 pediatric hospitalist program, implemented in collaboration with University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital. We also partnered with the University of Chicago to staff the cardiothoracic surgery program at Riverside Healthcare. • P&L Management: I oversaw expansion of the value analysis committee, saving over $2.25M in redundant expenditures. • Operations Improvement: By overhauling and reorganizing our emergency department based on a triage model, we were able to handle increased volume, decrease patient wait times, and positively impact throughput.

I was promoted to direct perioperative services where I managed a team of 140 nurses, technicians, and non-clinical staff in the surgicenter, post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 18 operating rooms, and surgical scheduling office. I was also fully accountable for the financial health of this business segment. Though I spent less than a year in this capacity, I was able to make a substantial positive impact by incorporating organizational procedures and information technology (IT) advances to improve operational and financial performance. I also led the expansion of the hospital’s service offerings, leading to gains in treatment efficiency and care outcomes.Critical Successes:• P&L Management: The organization was able to reclaim $3M in supply costs after I formed a department value analysis committee.

As a graduate assistant, I identified areas for operational growth by conducting an analysis of financial statistics, patient activity, and facility-related historical data. I then executed analytical comparisons based on reports and compiled results. Critical Successes:• Revenue Enrichment: A financial business model for imaging services (PET/CT) I constructed was estimated to attract $5.6M in revenues. I also developed a profitability analysis tool to distinguish lucrative surgical procedures and increase departmental profitability. • Sourcing Optimization: I was able to improve margins on cardiac inpatient and outpatient implant activities without sacrificing outcomes by restructuring our organization’s supplier selection process.
