PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Quality works only when it strengthens operations—not when it sits beside them. With 20 years of experience, I bring healthcare operations, quality management, and accreditation expertise together to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable hospital performance beyond regulatory compliance. Recognized as a Healthcare Operations–Quality Leader, I excel in bridging hospital operations with accreditation frameworks to embed patient safety, accountability, and efficiency into daily clinical and administrative practice. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certified, I approach quality as a leadership and governance function rather than a documentation exercise. Expertise spans JCI, NABH (Entry, Surveillance, Accreditation, Reaccreditation), NABL, and Nursing Excellence, with hands-on experience translating standards into practical operational controls across OPD, IPD, Emergency, OT, ICU, diagnostics, and support services. Proven in accreditation readiness, internal audits, KPI-driven quality improvement, and CAPA governance to sustain compliance and enhance outcomes. Brings strong operational and financial acumen including HR and financial budgeting, cost–benefit analysis, vendor & contract management, TPA coordination, and credit collections. Known for building accountable teams, strengthening governance structures, and embedding performance monitoring, consistently delivering measurable improvements in patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and sustainable compliance.
