Certified!

It took 110 hours in class, covering 8 courses, 7 exams, and 6 class projects... but I *finally* achieved my first certification! I am now an officially recognized expert in the Inpatient EHR. For my next trick, I will go through training for the Ambulatory (outpatient) record, but by all indications that training is much less intense. After I am fully certified, I will be able to become more productive in writing updates for the software, and to do some occasional travel for customer support.

RETAINING EXCELLENT HIGH QUALITY EMPLOYEES
By Diane Hoellerman

Sharon Little has been with Optum Health since October, 2007. She currently lives in Beavercreek but soon will be joining her husband in Wisconsin. Sharon’s husband was a Family Practice Physician for 18 years doing patient care, teaching, and research at WSU. Recently he switched his focus by taking a position with a company that makes integrated software for medical groups and healthcare organizations.

Sharon has 3 sons ages 12, 15, and 18. The oldest, Chad, will be graduating this year and plays in a band. The middle son, Chris, is still growing at 6’2” and enjoys basketball and the youngest son is 12 and a computer whiz!

Sharon said she joined Optum because she wanted a new challenge and a new way to develop her skills as a nurse. Her hobbies are reading and hanging out with family and friends.

Sharon may be moving soon and hanging out with new friends but her Ohio OptumHealth Family remains the same. She is taking her Optum Desk to Wisconsin because she requested a transfer and it was approved. We are excited that we were able to retain Sharon as a Team Member of our Ohio Family! Join me in wishing her a safe and speedy move.




CORRECTION: Chris is now 6'3"!
