Since 1993, I have initiated, designed, and implemented projects for my clients within healthcare, publishing, educational, and government organizations to help them expand their organizational capabilities.

I have an interest in approaches, processes, and systems that would enable individuals become an active and responsible partner in their own health and care pathway. Similarly, my approach to launching health management programs is to integrate it as a key organizational capability to boost individual and enterprise productivity.

Delivering Results-Oriented Workplace

Organizations today are struggling with downward trends in employees physical and mental health; greater uncertainty and cost for providing healthcare for their employees; and known impact of environmental factors on employees health. Health Management as an organizational capability can remedy these issues. Successful programs for meeting the current challenges require formulating leading edge strategies and business models, designing new processes, developing new governance policies, and implementing cutting edge tools.

Health Management: The Possibilities

In year 2000, I designed and developed a loosely integrated content management and collaboration methodology in which I implemented the concept and the major capabilities of the current Web 2.0 working environments. This environment put the users in control and tapped into their collective intelligence, which later became the foundation of my consulting business.

Acive Path Solutions in a Nutshell

Prior to starting my own business, I worked at the University of California, San Francisco in several capacities at the Schools of Medicine, School of Nursing and the Multidisciplinary Medical Information Science Graduate Program.

I have a Ph.D. in Medical Informatics and Interdisciplinary Studies and participated in a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Medical Informatics, an M.Ed. In Instructional Technology, and a B.A. in Art History. I am the author of multiple papers and numerous international presentations on Medical Education; candidate for the chair of the Executive Committee at UCSF Medical Information Science Program; served on the advisory board of multiple organizations including Cisco Non-Profit Group, The Communication Group Agency, eLearning Forum (Stanford Research Institute); and I have filed for patent coverage for my system and methodology innovations in collaborative content development.
