About

Six years ago I was a med surg charge nurse who kept complaining about our documentation build, and eventually someone handed me the build. Now I work in clinical informatics for a five hospital system in Minnesota. I write and test order sets, run the clinical content review group, and spend a lot of time watching nurses chart so I can see where the click burden actually is. I advise on flowsheet design, alert fatigue, and how to bring bedside nurses into governance instead of surveying them after the fact. I talk to vendors often enough to know which demos to distrust. I am early enough in this work that I still ask a lot of questions in the rooms I get invited into.
