About

What I do:

  • I actually help companies implement and execute the adoption, introduction and institutionalization of collaborative technologies. In doing this work, I innovate, create and stimulate, ... and when necessary agitate! I spend a lot of time making sure that things are integrated; systems, processes, information flows... It bugs me when technology is introduced that dis-integrates systems, processes, etc. I use a lot of the fundamental principles of "lean execution" to support my work.

What people say about what I do

  • An IT PERSPECTIVE
    He is able to bridge the often difficult gap that exists between business units and IT. He made our job easier, and in doing so, served his customer well.
  • A DIFFERENT CONSULTANT
    One reason why Ford works with Mr. Shea is that he, unlike many other consultants, actually gets involved with establishing and implementing those things that we need to do to change. Once we understood the issues, we told him to “go do it” and he did.

How NOT to implement EMR or other hospital applications

This from a hospital sales consultant .... and consistent with the alternative approach offered here  - scroll to bottom of post

"What ever EMR you implement, you need to customize it to be user friendly. Not user friendly for an IT person but user friendly for clinical staff. I just did a demo in NY and the CIO didn't seem to care about getting feedback from any of the nursing staff (who will use the system on a daily basis) and that will be his downfall with his implementation in my opinion."
