Nicole has served as an advanced practice provider (APP) in the Emergency Department (ED) at CHOP for the past 15 years. In addition to her clinical role in the ED, Nicole served as orientation coordinator and mentor for new APP’s in the ED, focused on quality improvement work to support the daily functions of the ED APP’s, and used her information systems expertise to contribute to many initiatives and projects in the ED. She has been involved with standardizing and improving care delivered to children in urgent and emergent situations on a regional and national scale by founding the Pediatric Emergency Care Special Interest Group within NAPNAP.
Nicole will have APP responsibility for The Possibilities Project, which aims to reimagine care delivery in order to improve the patient and provider experience of pediatric primary care and improve child health outcomes. Nicole will be working with the team to update the model of care to create more flexibility in how primary care is delivered, as well implement innovative programs that take advantage of that flexibility to improve outcomes.
