“We needed to insure that the GE Centricity EMR project was on target, on track, on message, on budget and on time, so we invited Amy Walker to review and evaluate all clinical and IT program elements. Amy re-forecast the project to bring it in line, she strengthened our vendor relationship. Most importantly, she refocused and reenergized the hospital team charged with plan development and implementation roll-out.
It was a pleasure to work with Amy, and I am sure that we could have never of gotten this project accomplished without her help.”

“I had the great privilege of working with Amy Walker when we installed one of the industry’s largest footprints of Cerner Millennium applications. As the lead executive and Chief Clinical Information Officer, she assembled a talented team of knowledge experts who validated the design, build, testing and integration features of the new clinical information system. She was the driving force that successfully moved us from concept to the piloting of multi-facility functionality to scheduled “big bang” implementations across the enterprise. Throughout this 3 year project, Amy committed to our clinical and IT objectives, and actively supported our goals to improve patient care and increase performance efficiency.”
