Focused Clinical Consultation
A working session on a specific product, workflow or implementation question, grounded in frontline practice.
Health technology, designed for real care.
I help health tech companies building products for clinicians find clinical and adoption risks early, before they become expensive rebuilds, failed implementations or stalled scale-up. I offer independent clinical insight on workflow integration, technology adoption and product strategy: identifying clinical friction points, testing how a product fits real workflows, and helping teams decide what to change before launch.
My perspective comes from eight years of frontline emergency nursing, perioperative care, and specialty work in fertility and medical aesthetics. I've been on the receiving end of technology rollouts myself, and I see every day how care teams adopt new tools or work around them.

Product intentWhat is the team trying to help users do?
02
Clinical realityWhere does it meet a real shift and workflow?
03
Adoption in practiceWhat will help clinicians use it well?
Independent, project-based insight. No patient care or PHI access required.
8 years frontline
The clinician using the tools, across emergency, perioperative and specialty clinic care
Adopted as policy
Designed and piloted an emergency department workflow that became unit policy

Co-authored a chapter in Springer's The Role of Bacteria in Urology (2nd ed., 2019), analyzing and translating clinical research
Who I work with
For teams putting technology in clinicians' hands.
If clinicians have to adopt your product for it to succeed, a clinical perspective early on costs far less than fixing problems after launch.
Products
Digital health platforms, clinical AI, EMRs, diagnostic technologies and other clinician-facing tools.
Settings
Hospitals, emergency departments, private and specialty clinics, and long-term care.
Moments
Before a pilot, when adoption stalls, and before scaling to new sites.
Services
Focused support, matched to the decision in front of you.
Start with a defined question, evaluate a workflow, decide where a product should go next, or add clinical perspective throughout a product or implementation cycle.
02 / Fixed scope
Clinical Workflow & Adoption Review
A fixed-scope evaluation of clinical fit, adoption barriers and operational implications, with practical recommendations to fix them.
03 / Direction
Clinical Product Strategy
When a product will not be adopted as designed, a focused engagement to decide what to keep (the technology, the setting or the problem) and where to go next.
04 / Ongoing
Fractional Clinical Advisory
Ongoing, flexible input for teams making product, research, education and implementation decisions, without a full-time hire.
Why it matters
Catch clinical and adoption risks early, before they get expensive.
Gaps between product design and clinical practice don't stay small. Left alone, they turn into rebuilds, failed implementations, pilots that never convert and missed growth opportunities.
Protect pilot conversions
Fix adoption problems before the pilot decision, not after the contract is lost.
Build what clinicians will use
Know which features fit real workflows before engineering time is spent.
Smoother implementation
Find workflow conflicts before go-live, not from support tickets.
Stronger clinical positioning
Clinical evidence and frontline language that help teams explain where their product fits to the health system buyers who decide.
Sample work
See what a Review looks like.
A full sample Review of a fictional AI triage documentation tool. Its pilot started strong, then usage fell week after week. It shows how I assess workflow fit, adoption barriers and clinical risk, and what would recover the pilot before the decision.
- Executive summary with the business stakes
- Workflow map: how the product assumes triage runs, next to a real shift
- Ranked findings matrix by clinical risk and adoption impact
- A 90-day recovery plan, adoption plan and metrics
- A strategy preview: keep the tech, keep the setting, or keep the problem

Key findings
- The mic picked up other patients' conversations at nearby triage stations, risking inaccurate charting and privacy breaches.
- Notes were produced as long conversational transcripts, not clinical assessments.
- Timed reassessment pop-ups for low-acuity patients interrupted high-acuity triage.

Relevant experience
Built from frontline practice and experience translating it.
I bring eight years of frontline emergency department nursing across four hospitals in two provinces, perioperative care in hospital and private clinic settings, specialty work in fertility and medical aesthetics, and earlier experience in long-term care. I know how care actually runs across these settings: triage, handoffs, surge, pre-op and recovery, clinic intake, documentation and the systems that hold it together. I work daily alongside physicians, nurses, allied health and clerical staff, so I see how clinical tools land for everyone who touches them.
Beyond clinical practice, I designed an emergency department workflow adopted as unit policy, contributed to published research, developed patient-facing digital education and taught college-level anatomy. I translate this mix of clinical, educational and operational experience into practical recommendations for health technology teams.
EMR experience: Cerner, Meditech, JaneApp and Fertility Pro
Workflow improvement
Designed and piloted a standardized patient-assignment workflow in a rural emergency department; it was adopted as unit policy.
Research and publication
Co-authored "Pathogenic Mechanisms of Uropathogens" in Springer's The Role of Bacteria in Urology (2nd ed., 2019), synthesizing clinical research into clear, accurate findings.
Digital health
At Integra Medical, translated clinical research into patient-facing education and contributed to website navigation and UX.
Clinical education
Taught human anatomy at Fanshawe College and adapted complex content for multiple cohorts, including ESL learners.
Practice operations
Built an independent aesthetics client base and developed digital intake, consultation and documentation workflows.
