About Sheri Davis

For me, nursing has never been just a job—it’s been a 30-year journey of evolution. From the front lines of patient care to leading large-scale Medicaid initiatives, I’ve seen firsthand where the healthcare system succeeds and where it leaves people behind. This perspective has shaped me into an accomplished Nurse Leader and Educator dedicated to serving at-risk and underserved populations through strategic, analytic, and creative problem-solving.I am currently in the final stretch of my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), integrating tech-enabled, evidence-based practice and pedagogy into holistic wellness programs that improve patient outcomes. Whether in the clinic or the classroom, I design and deploy data-driven programs rooted in evidence-based practice, ensuring the public and healthcare professionals are empowered to navigate the complexities of modern medicine in pursuit of their best life.Leadership & Corporate CultureAs a motivator for excellence, I believe that high-quality care starts with a High-Reliability Organization (HRO) culture. I specialize in- Team Empowerment: Building and leading diverse, multi-disciplinary teams through a lens of psychological safety and professional growth- Strategic Culture Building: Cultivating environments that value clinical analytics, IHI solutions, and value-based outcomes- Change Management: Navigating the complexities of managed care and Medicaid MCO strategies by aligning team goals with systemic equity.Innovation & AI IntegrationI am deeply invested in the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence to streamline healthcare delivery and enhance nursing education- Clinical Analytics: Leveraging AI to identify population health trends, predict gaps in care, and personalize Medicaid care management- Educational Innovation: Utilizing generative AI and advanced research tools to optimize student success frameworks and adaptive learning- Ethical Implementation: Ensuring digital transformation enhances—rather than replaces—the essential human element of nursing.Core Expertise- Population Health Strategy: Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) through data-driven, tech-enabled interventions- Program Design: Developing health education platforms like Poema Health to drive systemic change- Clinical Strategy: Building highly efficient, value-based solutions for vulnerable populations.My goal remains the same: to be a catalyst for excellence and a bridge between clinical innovation and compassionate leadership.
