Jennifer Wutz Lopes’s Summary
I am a consulting professional with thirteen years of experience in the healthcare information technology industry and ten years of experience with Epic revenue-cycle applications. I first drank the Epic kool-aid way back in 1995 when I started building clinician schedules in Cadence text.
My professional highlights include:
Revenue-cycle implementation, project management, ambulatory process redesign, training and education (Radiant, EpicCare, Prelude, Cadence and Resolute Professional Billing modules), system build for both Production and Training environments, and curriculum documentation for training, including presentations, end-user manuals and job aids.
I have experience as an Epic development specialist with Design/Build/Validate for both Radiant and EpicCare installations.
I am Epic-certified in Cadence, Radiant and EpicCare Ambulatory applications, current to Spring 2007 versions.
In addition, I have excellent analytical, organizational and problem solving skills, superb interpersonal, oral and written communication skills, strong end-user and client liaison skills, and demonstrated ability to complete tasks independently.
