About Ashley Helfer
My goal is to transform healthcare to become efficient, financially solvent and patient-centered. Beginning my career as an ED nurse taught me the importance of keeping the patients’ needs the focus of all my subsequent roles. In leadership, I’ve been able to demonstrate that a patient-centered approach is often followed by improvements in business operations and the system as a whole. Throughout my career I have chosen positions that allow me to pursue a balance between efficiency and excellent care. I have extensive experience working with healthcare systems to improve patient flow. I am comfortable facilitating and leading projects with multidisciplinary leaders. I am experienced in directing initiatives with minimal guidance when necessary. I have supported divisions of up to 500 team members and have consistently built and sustained high-performance teams. I am skilled at analyzing and presenting data to align providers and executives around shared goals.Competencies: multi-site operations, quality and performance improvement, strategic operational planning, budgeting and financial reporting, staff retention and development, clinical operations, care management, data analytics, change management.
