After a career in Professional Counseling and over 14 years as a business
owner and educator, I chose to point my skills and experience in a new
direction. I have served as a trainer for the Mercy Health System in Fort
Smith in their transition to a computer based, paperless charting system
(EPIC). I have been a part of the consulting staff for over a dozen major
Hospitals, from Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles to Bon Secours in Virginia and
from Anchorage to Arkansas. My desire is to continue to use my skills and
experience as a trainer and leader for hospitals who are looking for top
quality individuals to help them attain their goals of a smooth and
professionally managed transition.
My strength lies in understanding the key to adapting the current
workflows to the new system in such a way that the system works for the
user, not the other way around. Physicians, Nurses and other care
professionals have trained themselves in a way of observation, assessment
and treatment that needs to be honored and mirrored as close as possible
in the initial analysis and build process. My foundation in Family
Systems Therapy and leadership development has been a great resource for
my colleagues, as well as my contracting firms and their clients. As a
business owner, I understand that organizations are only as strong as how
we as consultants serve your client's needs. I believe myself to be a
sincere, loyal individual with a lifetime of integrity and high work
ethic as my core values. My maturity, leadership, education and training
experience uniquely qualify me to stand at the top within any team you
will build.
Skills and Abilities
. Proven ability in Clindoc, CPOE and Stork training for both Physicians
and Nurses serving within hospitals. My most recent emphasis has been on
personalizing the Physicians template-build skills, CPOE and helping them
utilize the system to better meet current Health Care workflow and
billing guidelines.
. Proven ability in providing elbow-to-elbow support to all clinical
personnel during multiple "go-lives".
