I created a weekly newsletter to inform our team of important department updates. I began the newsletter in Constant Contact. In 2022, pricing changed and I started creating the newsletter in Digital Signal, institutionally called “OHSU NOW,”  both platforms are like designing single web pages.

Diagnostic Radiology has around 360 employees dispersed over a large campus with very different workflows depending on the role. The complicated logistics of our department require smart digital communication solutions. I reinforce parent branding importance whenever possible in our department.

In September 2021 I opened a MS Team/ SharePoint site for our department and have been developing it. I often provide basic technical assistance to department users and enjoy making recommendations on how to leverage this technology to create better workflows. BOX was officially retired in December 2021. We moved much of the box content to OneDrive but I recreated some information as SharePoint pages, such as the Radiologist Standard Operating Procedure manual that was several word documents to an easier to access SharePoint page.

My new communications role was an expansion into a more marketing role with a greater focus on Social Media and promoting the Diagnostic Radiology Department internally and externally while handing off the Neuroradiology admin support role.

In July of 2019, I assisted with the faculty schedule move from a manual system posted in BOX to an automated system, QGenda.

OHSU moved from Common Spot to Drupal. All pages had to be manually moved by me. Before moving pages, I did a site audit and removed or condensed much information.

In our department hallway monitors display video, pictures or slides. These electronic bulletin boards helped to communicate important information to technologists and radiologists.

In 2017, it was decided to merge the hospital and educational site into one. Many found having the two separate sites was confusing and some information is redundant. As part of the redesign, I audited the Healthcare pages and severely edited them down. The two sites were merged by me and launched in June 2017.

I successfully negotiated a promotion to web specialist after years of work building the OHSU Diagnostic Radiology website. In the beginning, I had little to no collaboration, but in recent years more people have gained interest. Almost all the pages on the Diagnostic Radiology site, with the exception of recent MRI protocol pages, I have created. In addition to website updates and page creation, I also use Adobe products to create digital content for the website and social media. I also review Google Analytics and use the information to tailor web pages to site visitors.

Where you store and share documents is an important part of effective communication. In March of 2015 I championed incorporating a newly available cloud solution- BOX for secure and more user-friendly storage of schedules and job classification specific information. Box was the best solution we had available at the time.

At OHSU, there are overlaps of service lines. The Breast Center was owned by the Women’s Health Department. However Diagnostic Radiology provided Ultrasound and Mammography services. I worked with OHSU Marketing to redesign the Breast Center and Mammography pages to remove redundancies and create a cohesive online experience.

OHSU updated their website with less emphases on separating the missions. Therefore, we started a redesign to align with the university.

Originally because I was employed by the education mission, the healthcare side wanted to have someone on their team to champion the healthcare website. I was initially supposed to provide a supportive role but due to staffing changes I took over this project and launched it.

I was a part of initial discussions around building a new patient-centered Diagnostic Imaging Healthcare site. The original Healthcare site was separate from the educational site and was designed for patients. I co-designed and developed the initial build.

We started adding MRI Protocols to the website to address a problem with MRI techs editing protocols without the authorization of a radiologist. The protocols needed a public view without editing capabilities. The protocols didn’t change to often (in the beginning) and the public website seemed like an good fit. The added benefit was easy viewing access for our partners at the VA. Our public-facing website became a source of truth for our techs, providers and surrounding Imaging practices. Last counted we have over Over 250 MRI Protocol pages added online for easy but non-editable access. I am very proud of how popular they have been. Radiology Departments outside of our own hospital and country have accessed them.

This was the initial build of our current site. There was no department owned site prior. I worked with a radiologist on the the structure and basic outline. We started the project in May 2010. The build started in July 2011 and launched in September 2011.

The original Educational only site was designed for the medical professional audience (and frequently referenced from outside institutions). I designed and developed the initial build and several redesigns.

Designed, developed and managed an annual Radiology CME Conference for four years. Created a database of contact information for over 400 regional radiologists and 100 Alumni. Orchestrated and negotiated off-site room reservation and catering. Managed all attendees’ registration, communication and payment.
