AI & Technology Governance
Led a structured AI scribe pilot with pre-defined quality and workload measures. Voting member on the committee deciding which quality and billing elements are standardized for all clinicians and which remain customizable.
Board & Advisory
The boardroom needs the bedside. I bring both.
Former trustee of a regional health system, current member of a national physician group’s clinical governance body, and the physician who took a health system AI scribe program from a measured pilot to enterprise scaling.
Board profile
An evidence-first director for the questions boards face now.
I combine 14 years of hospital medicine leadership with an Executive MBA, startup and venture advisory experience, and bilingual fluency with Latino patients and communities.
Boards today are asking how to adopt AI responsibly, how to protect quality and safety while margins tighten, and how to keep physicians engaged through change. I bring a tested answer to each: define the measures first, pressure-test the assumptions, and hold management to the outcomes.
In the boardroom I work as a consensus builder. I ask the pressure-testing question, advise on strategy, and leave operations to management.
Director expertise
Six areas where I add value to a board.
Quality, Patient Safety & CDI
Sepsis alert and order-set redesign that cut bundle fallouts 35%. Pharmacist-led medication reconciliation team. A before-and-after CDI scorecard method for AI-generated documentation.
Compliance & Enterprise Risk
Trustee oversight of compliance and patient safety. Multi-state regulatory practice across 29 state licenses plus the IMLC, including APP supervision and collaborative practice agreements.
Strategy & Financial Stewardship
Trustee review of operations, financial performance, and the strategic plan. Executive MBA (2026). Led a quality initiative with an estimated $20,000 in annual savings.
Physician Workforce & Engagement
Leads physician onboarding for AI documentation tools and treats them as a retention lever. Builds alignment between hospitals and the physicians who practice in them.
Health Equity & Community
