In her seven years with Huron, she has led both qualitative and analytical assessments and implementations for a variety of clients, including children’s hospitals, academic health centers (AHCs) and large hospital systems. She has specific expertise in improving efficiency and productivity, developing and executing strategies to ensure financial sustainability, and creating enhanced patient access.

  • Completed ambulatory clinic redesign, operational redesign and clinical efficiency projects at multiple children’s hospitals, resulting in increased revenue and visits.
  • Advised several hospital clients on Epic software optimization for ambulatory builds, access, outpatient operational process (e.g., scheduling, rooming, clinical documentation) and custom reporting needs.

Prior to Huron, Amanda has held previous leadership positions in hospital-owned practice plans, AHCs and private practice. Most recently, she served as the surgical services administrator at Stanford Children’s Health/Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, where she managed operations and led divisions of pediatric urology, ophthalmology and otolaryngology.
