President, ARS
Received recognition for creating and developing proprietary home-grown OLTP web based application system for electronic forms and signatures to fully automate and eliminate paper environment. Developed smart, auto fill electronic forms with real-time update and search functionality with RDBMS back-end comprised of SQL Server 2008 data mart with real-time Epic ADT HL7 data feeds and ability to capture patient's signature once electronic all while assisting ill patient at ER/ICU bedside. Business owner is MedEligible Services, division of ARS, who employs 20-35+ patient advocates, featured in multiple media cover stories such as Homeless Connect, that specialize in assisting, and maintaining life-long relationships, the low-income, disabled and/or homeless uninsured (and underinsured) patient's admitted to any Allina Hospital, ER/ICU areas, to ensure patient applies for and obtains most appropriate government program resulting in much larger reimbursements to Allina for services rendered in half the time; common and historical trends show much higher probability services provided during stay may not be otherwise reimbursed at all or possibly at a fraction of the actual service fee. This, and other automated projects/processes implemented during my tenure, has resulted in exceeding (by a large margin) projected revenue goal, for all four divisions within ARS, three years consecutively with minimal investment of two FTE's normal salary. Application is hosted on a SharePoint 2010 platform with no client-side software install necessary allowing for easy deployment on new employee devices without normal corporate security barriers of administrative permissions to initially install application ultimately making deployment quicker and easy than ever.
