Both of these elements were captured within internally published Clinical Practices and Position Statements. ✔ Worked with our innovation team and outside industry to create a noise reduction tool to enhance the safety of working within loud environments, such as an orthopedic operating room. ✔ Published the first national audit of the use and documentation of perioperative risk assessment tools (in press). ✔ Recipient of the Genesis Cup Award in 2018 for Innovation in Healthcare, awarded to only one clinician in the organization per year (out of 27,000 clinicians).

SVP Clinical Innovation, Associate Medical Director The Envision Center for Quality and Patient Safety (AHRQ Certified) Interim Medical Director Research Interim Medical Director The Physician Quality Registry Provide strategic leadership for clinical and technical innovation within Envision Physician Services. Define, design, and implement new multi-specialty and single-specialty evidence based, high-value clinical practices and pathways. Develop analytics, database interfaces, and eTools focused on health outcomes. Oversee new methods of electronic data acquisition. Develop and enhance existing occurrence reporting systems. Oversee clinical research and scientific intelligence. ✔ Serve as the Clinician Lead within Envision’s MACRA reporting space. ✔ Designed the company’s first automated perioperative outcomes eTool. The COSMO database contains over 600,000 patients and grows daily. The tool automatically quantifies rates and proportions of post-surgical complications at the facility level, surgical specialty level, by surgical procedure, and by day of occurrence. The tool also predicts cost and cost avoidance of various complications. This tool is invaluable for identifying opportunities for improvement and the value of implemented, standardized, evidence-based clinical practice. This tool was selected for presentation at the 2020 American College of Surgeons Quality and Safety Summit meeting. ✔ Designed and created (with quality analytics) the company’s first clinical occurrence database interface. This tool (SPOT) allows the user to quantify self-reported perioperative occurrences in terms of type and location and allows for comparative audit of facility performance. ✔ Defined, designed, and implemented a nationwide perioperative ‘alternatives to opioids’ strategy and co-authored a White Paper on Mitigating Opioid Exposure. * continued below *
