Amplifying the voice of patients to improve
healthcare quality and outcomes
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensiveexperience in multi-disciplinary patient-centered outcomes research and clinical care. My career has been committed to putting patients at the center of their healthcare. Over the past 15 years, I had been pursuing that personal
mission in my roles as a faculty member in a large, urban academic health center and through various professional service roles.
In April 2021, I joined the clinical team at healthtechnology company, Phreesia, where I serve as Director of Clinical Content. In that role, I serve as resident expert in clinical quality initiatives that involve patient-reported outcomes (PROs). I advise clients on how to leverage Phreesia technology to most effectively implement screening tools and PROs, improve health outcomes, and meet quality goals. I also develop programs and services that help our providers succeed in payer and government programs while delivering exceptional patient care.
During my time at Phreesia, we have increased the number of available PROs and screening tools in our library, increased the number of clients using our PRO solutions (including targeted growth among behavioral health and other specialty groups), streamlined our ability to support custom PRO builds for our clients, extended the endorsement of one of our PRO-based performance measures (PRO-PM) by the National Quality Forum (NQF), and have successfully expanded consideration of the PRO-PM for two Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality programs (currently being considered for final rule).
My ultimate goal remains the same: to champion the voice of the patient by developing practical, scalable solutions to
gathering and using this information to improve healthcare.
