- Played an integral part in acquiring University Hospital sites (attended trainings, trained staff, site completion, and continuous support).
Took part in implementing Quest standing order process at ACL, along with the UH aquisition.
I followed compliance guidelines with standing orders, and was able to discuss with leadership the concerns I had. This process was implemented in April of 2025. I also created a powerpoint with visuals to better assist staff members in understanding the process.
The acquisition took place in January 2025. I attended/assisted with trainings in Ohio, helped train staff on proper procedures and techniques, helped assist in setting up the patient service centers, and continually show support and guidance to this team.
