Ashley Lindsey
@ashleylindsey
Experienced registered nurse with a focus on patient care leadership.
What I'm looking for
As a Registered Nurse with 9 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated the last 6 years to formal leadership roles, currently serving as a Patient Care Leader in a high-acuity inpatient unit. My role involves coordinating care with interdisciplinary teams to ensure safe, efficient, and patient-centered outcomes. I am passionate about reducing hospital length of stay by identifying discharge barriers early and aligning team efforts to support accurate documentation and DRG assignment.
Throughout my career, I have built strong partnerships with case management, providers, and therapy teams, streamlining care progression and ensuring that patients fully understand their care plans both during their hospital stay and after discharge. I am comfortable using digital tools to enhance communication and deliver clear health education, which empowers patients and families to actively participate in their care decisions.
My commitment to quality improvement is evident through my leadership in initiatives that not only impact my unit but also the organization as a whole. I take pride in mentoring nursing staff and serving as an active member of professional practice councils, where I advocate for nursing policy and improved clinical practices.
