Hired as the Coordinator of Endovascular, a new department being established at his hospital. Room not built yet. I was brought in to hire all sta including nurses, surgical techs, first assistants and radiology techs providing each with the training within their level of licensure and certification to begin a department that had not yet been at this hospital. Out department was so productive, a second room was built within a year and a half to keep up with our high physician satisfaction and growing numbers. I and my team set up equipment, products, orders, protocols and systems for charging for procedures as well as coding the procedures. I progressed in this job to be the Manager over Endovascular in 2 years and then by the 9th year was requested by my Service LIne Administrator to additionally take over the Director position for the Sterile Processing Department which served our 28 bed OR as well as 40 other departments. I did this successfully with improved physician satisfaction, reduced errors and very high volume instrument turnover.
