Jennifer Hecker

I've led patient flow, bed management, case management, and nursing operations at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital, Mid-Columbia Medical Center, and St. Charles. I use clinical judgment and operational planning to improve admissions, discharges, placements, resource allocation, and patient access.

At Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital, I supervised care coordination and nursing services, collaborated on throughput strategies to decrease length of stay and expedite admissions, and supported hospital quality goals. In Medical ICU nursing, I delivered evidence-based care, monitored changing patient conditions, and advocated for patient autonomy.

I'm now a Functional Assessor at Capita, producing accurate, evidence-based disability assessment reports for PIP and HAAS referrals in line with DWP guidance. My background combines critical care nursing, clinical documentation improvement, utilization review, healthcare compliance, and healthcare leadership.
