The decision to work in healthcare was made early on; I wanted to have a hand in making the community around me healthier. The ever-changing healthcare landscape—with a mix of policy, clinical research, business, and patient care—is what fuels my passion today. At ECG, I can directly help the healthcare community by providing successful solutions to clients that can easily adapt with the changing landscape.
Through her time working with AMCs, Chelsea makes meaningful connections between graduate medical education (GME) and the clinical operations necessary for success in today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment. Having worked at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health during a time of curriculum redesign and LCME accreditation, she understands the nuances associated with teaching programs and the critical need to abide by regulating bodies. This experience, combined with her ability to glean insights from data-driven analyses, makes Chelsea a valuable asset to any client she works with.
Prior to joining ECG, Chelsea attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for a dual master’s degree. During her time in the program, she worked as a graduate administrative intern at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and as a consultant intern with ECG in the Academic Healthcare Division. At MGH, Chelsea conducted a network analysis for more than 14 subspecialties within MGH for Children, which resulted in several department-specific solutions to decrease patient leakage from 60% to 20% across all departments. With ECG, she identified a potential loss of $8.2 million in Medicare reimbursement, provided that her client’s GME programs did not expand throughout the next five years. Additionally, Chelsea examined the medical staff composition across 26 teaching hospitals to educate current and future clientele about staffing structure trends and the impact on AMC characteristics.
