Rochelle Magness
La Habra
Summary
Clinical innovator with 17 years of experience sitting at the intersection of patient care and emerging technology. From the bedside to building cloud-native AI applications, I specialize in ensuring that complex digital tools—like EHR-integrated AI and interoperability fabrics—actually work for clinicians instead of adding to their burden. I bring a unique perspective of having managed large-scale nursing operations and P&L targets while simultaneously architecting the technical frameworks that connect medical devices to the EHR. I am a dedicated relationship builder who excels at unifying cross-functional teams—spanning clinical leadership, engineering, and IT—to bridge communication gaps and align on shared goals. My focus is on operationalizing "safe" innovation: building the guardrails and workflows that allow AI and digital platforms to scale without compromising clinical integrity or patient safety.
