The right AI improves patient care, sharpens diagnostics, lifts efficiency, and eliminates the administrative burden that burns out your best people. What it should never do is displace the human capital that is the backbone of every great health system. That balance is what I help organizations get right.
"AI that reduces documentation burden, accelerates diagnostics, and streamlines authorizations gives clinicians back the one thing no technology can manufacture — time with patients. That is the only AI transformation worth building."
Most consultants advise from the outside. I spent 22 years on the inside — at Mount Sinai's 7-hospital New York metro network and Atlantic Health System's 8-hospital NJ system — where I didn't just design the roadmap, I shipped the technology, navigated the politics, and made it stick.
From leading 3M-powered medical coding for 90,000+ inpatient and ambulatory surgery cases annually — an implementation that became the blueprint adopted across the entire Mount Sinai network — to Epic EMR transformation and enterprise AI automation that moved real revenue and patient access metrics.
I believe AI in healthcare should do three things: improve patient outcomes, sharpen clinical decision-making, and eliminate the administrative burden that pulls clinicians away from patients. It should never replace the human capital — the nurses, physicians, coders, and coordinators — who are the irreplaceable backbone of every great health system.
Through Human First Health.ai, I bring that inside knowledge and that philosophy to health systems, digital health companies, and investors — remotely and globally.
Let's Talk →Each engagement is tailored to where your organization actually is — not where a framework says you should be. The goal is always the same: AI and technology that serves your people, not replaces them.
From AI pilots that never scale to enterprise adoption that moves metrics — I help health systems define a responsible, measurable AI strategy aligned with clinical and financial goals. Not theory. Implementation-ready.
Deep Epic, 3M, and revenue cycle expertise from inside major health systems. I diagnose workflow and technology gaps and design solutions that improve coding accuracy, reduce denials, and accelerate the billing cycle.
C-suite-level digital health leadership without the full-time overhead. Ideal for mid-size health systems, digital health startups, and PE-backed healthcare companies that need a trusted technology executive on demand.
Not case studies from textbooks. Outcomes from the floor of two of America's most complex health systems.
30 minutes. I listen first. We identify where the real gaps and opportunities are — not where you think they are.
I map your current technology, workflows, and strategy against where you need to be. Honest, direct, no jargon.
A clear, prioritized plan with timelines, vendors, and success metrics. Built to be presented to your board or C-suite.
Monthly retainer or project-based. I stay close to your team until the outcomes are real — not just on paper.
Let's have a direct conversation about where your health system is, where the real gaps are, and how to build AI that improves care without displacing the humans who deliver it.
