Zachary Carson, DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC
Throughout my nursing career, I have built a strong foundation in both clinical practice and healthcare leadership. I began my nursing journey over twenty years ago, focusing on trauma ICU and emergency room nursing. For the majority of my clinical experience, I have worked as a Nurse Practitioner in emergency rooms, urgent care, and innovative acute care delivery models. As my career progressed, I transitioned into leadership roles where I utilized my clinical expertise to drive operational efficiency and improve patient outcomes. In these positions, I successfully implemented innovative care models, streamlined clinical processes, and supported multiple healthcare digital transformation initiatives. I have also developed cross-functional teams dedicated to patient-centered care. My leadership experience includes developing and coaching emerging leaders, as well as creating formal on-the-job training programs for leadership development. My commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery is evident through strategic initiatives such as optimizing data analytics to improve care practices and launching educational programs for clinical staff. This dual perspective as both a clinician and an operations leader empowers me to connect patient needs with organizational goals, fostering an environment of continuous improvement in healthcare services.
