Consulting
The right connections — clinical expertise, prepared patients, and strong programs — are what drive lasting outcomes.

I work with ambulatory surgery centers and orthopedic practices to build Total Joint programs that are clinically sound, operationally ready, and centered on what matters most — safe, well-prepared patients and successful outcomes.

About

Clinical experience
that translates.

As a Registered Nurse with certifications in Case Management and Orthopedic Nursing, I bring over two decades of surgical nursing experience — spanning the operating room, pre-op, and PACU — including over a decade building and overseeing a Total Joint Replacement program within an ambulatory surgery setting.

I understand what these programs require because I've lived it from the inside. Strong programs don't happen in isolation — they're the result of the right connections: clinical structure and patient preparation, data and decisions, your team and a clear shared goal.

I served as the program coordinator for a Total Joint program through the full AAAHC accreditation process — collaborating with facility leadership to achieve successful recognition.

How It Works

Every engagement starts
with understanding first.

Before anything is built, we take time to understand where your facility is. Tap each step to learn more.

01
First Step
Gap Analysis & Discovery
Tap to read more ↓

Before any work begins, we take a thorough look at where your facility currently stands — reviewing existing screening processes, patient selection criteria, clinical protocols, staff roles, and documentation. The goal is a clear, honest picture of what's working, what's missing, and what needs to be built. No assumptions, no commitments — just clarity.

02
Foundation
Readiness & Role Alignment
Tap to read more ↓

With a clear picture in hand, we establish the foundational infrastructure your program needs — standardized preoperative screening, risk stratification tools, patient exclusion criteria, and defined clinical roles. This is the layer that makes a program both safe for patients and defensible to surveyors. It's where most programs either hold together or fall apart.

03
Moving Forward
Scope, Pace & Partnership
Tap to read more ↓

Once we understand what you need, we define the right engagement together — whether that's a focused build-out, ongoing support, or a phased approach that starts with the highest priorities. Engagements can be structured as direct hire, independent consulting, or a defined introductory period. Everything moves at a pace that works for your facility, your team, and your timeline.

Services

Four areas of focus.
All connected.

Each service area addresses a critical connection point — between structure and care, between provider and patient, between data and outcomes, between compliance and quality. Hover or tap to learn more.

01
Program Development
Hover to learn more

Connecting clinical structure to patient care. Building or strengthening Total Joint programs for ASCs and orthopedic practices — workflows, protocols, staff education, scheduling, and patient preparation from first contact through discharge.

02
Patient Experience
Hover to learn more

Connecting provider to patient. Direct preparation through mailed and emailed education, 1:1 phone and video calls, personalized care plans, and pre and post-op coordination — including preoperative optimization for higher-acuity patients.

Inquire
03
Outcomes & Quality
Hover to learn more

Connecting data to decisions. Outcomes tracking, structured reporting, and regular team meetings — monthly while building, quarterly as your program stabilizes — to keep your team aligned and your program improving.

Inquire
04
Accreditation Readiness
Hover to learn more

Connecting compliance to quality. AAAHC preparation, gap analysis, policy development, and survey readiness — clear documentation of exclusion criteria, risk scoring, and clinical approval pathways that protect your facility and your patients. This isn't theoretical — I've been through the full process as a program coordinator.

Getting Started

Start where
you are.

Not every facility needs the same thing. Some are starting from scratch. Some need help connecting what's already in place. The first conversation is simply about understanding what you need — and whether we're a good fit.

Engagements can be structured as direct hire, independent consulting, or a focused introductory period with the option to expand from there.
