    Efficiency doesn’t mean cutting corners—it means working smarter within the boundaries. I start by mapping out the current workflow and identifying where the real bottlenecks or redundancies are. Then, I align improvements with regulatory and compliance standards from the start—because in healthcare, non-compliance isn’t an option. I collaborate with compliance, clinical, and operations teams to build solutions that are both efficient and defensible. The goal is simple: streamline the process, protect the patient, and stay audit-ready.
