Experience

1. Partner, Digital and Technology Transformation

   Chartis

   Sep 2022 — Present

   Chartis is a comprehensive advisory firm dedicated to the healthcare industry. We reimagine healthcare by combining human experience and judgment with cutting-edge data, analytics, and technology. In my time at Chartis I have led numerous engagements in these key areas:Digital Strategy -\"Connecting the dots\" from health systems\' most strategic priorities to their technology portfolios and capabilities. I partner closely with senior leaders to align their system, clinical, IT and digital strategies and create roadmaps for technology enhancements, integration and implementations that support the goals of the organization. These digital strategies have measurable impact on areas including patient acquisition and retention, improved clinical quality, improved clinician and staff satisfaction and reduction in spend.Agile Product Management - Many of our clients are adopting digital-forward strategies, but most are still operating as discrete projects and not as programs or products. Combining EA principles alongside Agile scaling methodologies unlocks the true value from these digital investments. I help our clients overcome the cultural, procedural and technical hurdles that hold them back, enabling true transformations to take place. Clients are showing measurable improvements in patient satisfaction, ROI in their tech investments and operating efficiencies.Intelligent Inpatient Rooms - A component of our \"Hospital of the Future\" offering that I co-lead at Chartis. Patients and their families expect a better experience in the hospital - one where they feel in control, informed and safe. At the same time, we need to enable Clinical staff with the tools and resources they need to provide high-quality, human-centered care while reducing their burden and cognitive load. The Intelligent Inpatient Room as part of a care model redesign can address both, and also ensure that we solve for common issues like ED boarding, throughput constraints and burnout.
