About Courtney’s Role/Ongoing Projects

Courtney dedicates most of her time to providing patient care, but she's also engaged in a collaborative effort with a nurse and a social worker. Together, they're developing an objective method to assess patient risk levels, aiming to accurately represent the complexity of their cases. This project is instrumental in enhancing clinical care by enabling the team to prioritize patients with high-risk, high-need profiles, ultimately reducing healthcare utilization among this demographic. What she finds most exciting is working towards designing a screening tool to show the complexity of the work her team is performing.
