Lead validation working sessions with client project leadership and key stakeholders to confirm findings.
-
Build a prioritized next-steps action list organized into quick wins, near-term (~90-day), and longer-term strategic items, with a suggested owner for each (IS, operations, Epic, or partner).
-
Help define follow-on remediation options and scope to inform future phases of work.
-
Prepare and deliver an executive readout that translates findings into clear, actionable recommendations for clinical, operational, and IS leaders.
