About Monica Vanbuskirk
For over 15 years, I have been a health systems improver. This means I\'ve worked with academic institutions, non-profits, government entities, and corporations to get important implementations unstuck.Unsure how to get more patients following clinical protocols? I lead codesign for gastroenterology, nephrology, dermatology patients and more.Inadequate funding for cost-effectiveness research or policy implementation? I lead over $45M of successful grants.Stakeholder management or strategy roadmaps gone awry? I lead strategy planning, implementation and convened stakeholder for projects that impact hundreds of thousands of constituents and customers.Talk to me about your important campaigns, initiatives and projects. Tell me what\'s stopping their implementation. I got you.Proud alumna of CMMI, Smith, Fuqua, Denver Health, KP, Emerge Colorado, C4 and CWCC.#humancentereddesign #improvingimprovement #grantwriting #policyanalysis #implementation #unstuck
