Background

About Donald Cox

As a Nurse Informaticist and health IT professional with a foundation in bedside clinical practice, I specialize in aligning healthcare technology with real-world clinical workflows to enhance care delivery, streamline operations, and improve provider efficiency. I bridge the gap between frontline clinicians and IT teams, facilitating collaboration to ensure that digital tools are usable, effective, and tailored to clinical needs. My strength lies in translating clinical requirements into actionable technical solutions and fostering engagement across stakeholders. With hands-on experience in both clinical informatics and direct patient care, I bring a dual perspective that’s essential for impactful transformation. I’ve led EHR optimization initiatives, contributed to system redesigns, and supported multi-disciplinary teams through change management, go-lives, and data-driven improvements. Core Focus Areas: • Clinical workflow redesign & gap analysis • Continuous process improvement • Cross-functional collaboration (clinical, technical, operational) • EHR optimization (Epic, Cerner, symplr) • Data-driven quality improvement • End-user education & change adoption I’m passionate about using informatics to reduce clinician burden, improve patient outcomes, and drive smarter, safer care. Let’s connect if you’re working to transform healthcare through technology—or need someone who can align systems, people, and processes to get there.
