With a background in healthcare IT and claims data analytics, Tom is passionate about streamlining provider workflows in the EHR and optimizing reporting tools for healthcare professionals. Tom regularly partners with physicians, nurses, medical directors, population health stakeholders, and analytics teams to identify EHR workflow redundancies and usability challenges and implement updates to improve the patient and provider experience at every stage of the care continuum. Tom understands the challenges organizations face when transitioning from disjointed workflows and siloed data to a single EHR system, an undertaking he has successfully helped many leading health systems across the US complete in order to realize cost and utilization improvements.
At ECG, Tom’s project work focuses on helping clients get the most out of their data using standard and customized EHR tool sets. Recently, Tom trained clinical informatics and healthcare IT teams at a large pharmaceutical company on the functionality for identifying, risk-stratifying, and managing patients with chronic diseases in Epic and Oracle Health. Tom also devised and implemented a robotic process automation tool at a post-acute hospital system to reduce manual processes related to insurance verification, leading to an efficiency gain equal to 1.29 FTEs, or roughly $100,000 annually. Before joining ECG, Tom worked for Adventist HealthCare as a healthcare performance analyst, where he was responsible for monitoring six shared savings contracts totaling $6.7 million in financial incentives for the CIN.
