Where bedside nursing meets enterprise data.
25+ years as an RN. A decade leading the application development and analytics behind some of healthcare's highest-stakes decisions - from the ICU to the EHR.
I started as a staff and charge nurse in labor & delivery and intermediate care, then moved into a supervisor role overseeing 50 FTEs and 45 beds on a transplant and cardiac telemetry unit. Somewhere along the way, I kept noticing the same thing: the technology meant to support patient care was usually a half-step behind the people actually delivering it.
So I moved into clinical informatics — not to leave nursing, but to fix the systems nursing depends on. Over a decade at HCA Healthcare / Methodist Healthcare System, I've built and led the application development and BI work behind registry reporting, clinical alerting, and revenue-capture systems used across multiple facilities, while staying close enough to the bedside to know whether they actually work.
Today I'm looking for the same kind of fit that's defined my career: real, hands-on impact to help solve the toughest challenges. That might be a part-time bedside RN role, a contract informatics engagement, or both.
Clinical
Technical & Analytics
Two systems, one job: get the right information to the right person before it's too late.
Procedure Charge Capture
Bedside procedures like central line insertion, intubation, and paracentesis were routinely under-billed because charge capture depended on manual entry.
Built ETL pipelines pulling directly from the medical record, paired with an automated bot that charged qualifying cases against defined clinical criteria, removing the manual step entirely.
Scaled the system enterprise-wide, recovering over $600 million in charges that were previously missed.
NOKI Alerting System
Patients scheduled for left heart catheterization or PCI need consistent IV hydration to protect kidney function, but that hydration wasn't happening reliably.
Designed a desktop alert that pushed pertinent clinical data and the ordering physician's contact information directly to the bedside nurse during the pre- and post-procedure window.
Closed the communication gap driving inconsistent hydration and significantly reduced post-procedure acute kidney injuries.
PE workflow pilot with a third-party vendor: a 44% increase in indicated thrombectomies and a 55% reduction in ICU length of stay. The database and dashboard I built went on to support the unit's Pulmonary Embolism Center of Excellence designation.
Directed the architecture of a custom registry reporting application that served as a foundational data component in the ECMO program's Platinum Center of Excellence designation.
25 years, one throughline: closer to the patient than the org chart suggests.
