About

After working with leaders in healthcare to develop compliant and efficient processes, improving patient outcomes, eliminating errors and their associated costs to over 500 hospitals I am looking to transition to another startup or turnaround at a small company or division of a larger organization. We help our clients improve patient safety by working with physicians and team members to ensure an effective checklist is created, along with the tools and processes needed for successful implementation and adoption. Using a client-centered and results-driven approach, we actively engage each staff member to contribute to the checklist design. We create an understanding of the importance of the checklist and how it will prevent errors, improve patient outcomes and reduce cost. We’ve helped hospitals and industrial companies create over 1,000 different checklists. Each is custom designed to their specifications, allowing them to address institutional strengths and weaknesses. All our product is manufactured in the USA.
