Readmissions Reduction Strategies
Administrative and Leadership Projects (Kaiser Permanente) Low Risk Chest Pain Pathway - Developed a highly successful algorithm guiding the physician in the best and most efficient management of patients presenting with low-risk chest pain - resulted in a 40% decrease in hospital admissions Syncope Clinic - Developed a specialty clinic addressing best management for patients presenting with syncope - an often-perplexing diagnosis that results in unnecessary testing and hospital admissions
Readmissions Reduction Strategist - Developed a comprehensive approach to the reduction of 30-day readmissions
Radiology Utilization Action Team - Champion assigned to the appropriate use of nuclear stress testing and ultrasonography
