Joined this project to rectify a four-month testing delay. By coordinating the design of application test cases with multiple cross-functional teams, ensuring test cases include vital functional requirements. Organize execution of various system test cycles, including application testing, integrated testing, end-user acceptance testing, Mapped Record Testing, PRCT, Upgrade testing, and others. Some examples of my contributions include:• Improved the Charge Testing rate from 42% complete to 98% complete within four weeks.• Issues with the Mapped Recorded Testing were resolved by identifying all unknown third-party resources, coordinating weekly calls with Epic ACs and application teams to focus solely on removing barriers in completing testing.

In this contract position, I orchestrated the design and integration of the test plan for the hospital system, including PRCT, Charging, MRT, and interface testing. I created test scripts, tracked testing activity, scheduled resources, and produced reports and dashboards documenting all of the testing activities. Testing progress information was coordinated with accurate project plans, timelines, communication plans, and status reporting. I escalated and resolved any issues internally and with vendors.A few of my accomplishments were:• I defined the entire test plan, testing schedule, and testing efforts including PRCT, MRT, Integrated, Unit, and Focus testing.• The Epic implementation functionality was enhanced through the support of workflow analysis and system redesign.• I troubleshooted any data quality-related issues and organized the resolution with users and leadership team.

With Grady Health System, I conducted integrated end-to-end testing in inpatient and ambulatory environments within the main hospital, eight neighborhood clinics, and two Community Connect clinics.
