certified virtual presenter

While "Patient-Centered" has become the buzzword du jour in healthcare, it is more than that to Cathy. When Cathy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2011, she was able to view the hospital environment from a chemotherapy patient's unique perspective. That unique perspective has given Cathy the ability to develop and train excellent health-care project managers who are true leaders:

They:

• hold the vision of healing environments that align with the organizations mission

• understand each stakeholders role in patient-centered care

• motivate stakeholders to solve the problems that will maximize quality of care

• organize the resources necessary to complete the project

• represent the beliefs, concerns and needs of all stakeholders

Her flagship workshop "DONE" approach includes an

"Understanding of Healing and a Balance of Process"

that focuses on:

Healthy Patient

• Healthy Team

• Healthy Project

This disciplined approach of "DONE" coaches your clinical and construction teams of the "HOW" of patient centered environments team management. The "DONE" approach helps to maximize team wisdom, skill and vision, and translates clinical to construction common language so as a group they can effectively communicate with each other to get a project "DONE"

Integrating the 4 C's

• Connection

• Collaboration

• Communicate

• Clarity

Cathy experience includes being the Co-chair of the Green committee at a regional hospital and a senior project manager completing over 130 projects over the past 12 years. Prior to that she worked as an outside consultant and Director of Training for Q&A Project Management services company, managing real estate and construction projects. She also owned and ran a strategic marketing firm called Tactical Communications and managed projects to improve marketing programs for some well known companies such as Carl Zeiss, Aperture, Axis Systems International and Strategic Network Design. This experience analyzing a corporation's needs and effectively communicating strategies to them served her cients well. 

Cathy mission is to share her knowledge and experience of healthcare project management with a wider audience to lead healthcare into the future.
