Tanisha Smith

I'm currently supporting safe surgical care at Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Center, where I complete pre-operative assessments, medication reconciliation, patient education, and coordination with surgeons, anesthesia providers, and nursing teams.

I've also coordinated perioperative care as an Operating Room Registered Nurse at Saint Luke's Baptist Hospital, ensuring comprehensive handoffs, detailed documentation, and continuity through transitions of care.

My experience spans military medicine at Brooke Army Medical Center, outpatient care at CHRISTUS Health, correctional health, mental health services at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and insurance coordination at Medtronic. Across these settings, I've supported triage, referrals, chronic disease management, prior authorizations, behavioral health coordination, and patient advocacy.

I'm committed to evidence-based care, clear documentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and helping patients navigate complex healthcare systems safely.
