Rory La-Riccia
@roryla-riccia
I improve multi-site healthcare operations, patient flow, EHR migrations, and care coordination.
What I'm looking for
I've coordinated 80–100+ weekly patient visits for four providers across three Northside Hospital Total Joint Specialists clinic sites, redesigning intake and flow to reduce wait times by 15% and improve on-time appointment starts by 20%. I also manage Cerner documentation, payer authorizations, and cross-site workflow consistency.
Previously, I led front-office and clinical support at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery, migrating approximately 3,000 patient records with zero loss of documentation continuity. Across dermatology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, and patient access roles, I've supported records integrity, HIPAA-compliant communication, scheduling, clinical procedures, and patient-provider coordination.
