-Regional Practice Leader Consultant, LCSW
“Danica was essential to the start up of our program and in my transition to becoming the team’s leader. As a consultant, she carried many pieces of the work, serving them up to us clearly and concisely so we had the information needed to make decisions and move things forward. She kept us organized, researched issues, created thorough presentations, and prepped us to lead meetings and facilitate discussions. She stepped in when needed to carry the load and just as easily stepped back when I was ready to take on an aspect of the work. She played a critical role in the design of our dashboard which enabled the team to leverage technology to manage their caseloads. The startup of this program was complex and had many moving parts. We would not be performing at the level we are now, without Danica’s expert consulting support. I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future. She is highly skilled, dedicates herself to her projects, and is a pleasure to work with.”
-Regional Program Manager
“I had the pleasure of working with Danica on several data projects within the healthcare space. The first was developing a new tool to manage referral patients where Danica was instrumental in being a bridge for the technical and non-technical partners through her ability to facilitate design meetings. Additionally, when obstacles occurred, such as a cap on the number of referrals that could be uploaded in a day, her flexibility and creative problem solving led us to designing a priority algorithm to ensure that high priority referrals were always queued up first.
The second project that we worked on together had to do with designing measures for a new program to evaluate effectiveness and provide constructive feedback to new teams. Danica’s ability to clearly map the program’s workflows to these measures reduced my effort in researching which data sources would be best for calculating the new measures. Ultimately, we were able to develop a report in a short period of time that answered current state questions about the program, but was also flexible in its design so that it was easy to expand when new teams were added to the program. ”
