Jorge Venida

Director of Respiratory Services, Non-invasive Cardiology, Cardiopulmonary Rehab, & Neurodiagnostic @Resurrection Medical Center

Reduced night shift staffing gaps from 100% down to 19% by partnering with Talent Acquisition and leveraging social media platforms like LinkedIn to attract and retain candidates. • Strengthened team culture and engagement while improving staffing stability and overall patient flow. • Decreased hospital length of stay from 6 days to 4 days by streamlining diagnostics and therapy scheduling, including ECHOs and home oxygen evaluations. • Implemented emergency preparedness initiatives (Emergency Airway Bag, Difficult Airway Bag, and Code Blue/Rapid Response Bag) that eliminated delays during critical events and reduced serious safety risks. • Improved respiratory productivity by 40% by fixing broken charge capture tabs in flow sheets, correcting missed services (e.g, nitric oxide therapy), and working with billing to establish new CPT codes. • Enhanced cardiopulmonary rehab productivity by ensuring Phase II pulmonary patients (15–20 daily) were properly captured in reporting and performance metrics. • Partnered with IT, CDI, and billing to strengthen revenue integrity through accurate charge capture, coding improvements, and streamlined workflows.
