About Rafael C.
Healthcare Quality, Patient Safety, and Compliance Leader with 16+ years of experience driving high reliability, regulatory readiness, and clinical excellence across acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and emergency settings. As a Director of Quality, Compliance, and Risk, I oversee hospital-wide CQPI programs, risk management, infection prevention, case management, education, and outcomes reporting. I specialize in leading survey readiness efforts (CMS, CARF, CIHQ), implementing interdisciplinary quality initiatives, mitigating risk through evidence-based process improvements, and strengthening a culture of safety and continuous learning. Throughout my leadership journey, I’ve prioritized roles where I could drive sustainable patient-centered outcomes, support regulatory integrity, and foster a resilient care environment. I am passionate about partnering with interdisciplinary teams to embed High Reliability Organization (HRO) principles and improve patient safety at every level. Currently seeking to contribute long-term to a mission-driven organization dedicated to excellence, collaboration, and meaningful impact.
