Professional Transitions: From Clinical Operations to Healthcare IT and Why it Works

At the heart of every RoundTable consulting project is the drive to make existing and incoming technologies better support the people and processes of the healthcare organizations that we serve. Whether assessing an EHR upgrade or a Revenue Cycle system conversion, our consultants expect to complete each project leaving end-users and executives greater satisfied with the tools that they use each day. To consistently achieve these outcomes, RoundTable has consciously built consulting teams with healthcare IT professionals that have previous operations experience within the departments they support. During a recent Epic inpatient financial conversion, we engaged a Hospital Billing Analyst Consultant who had been a Business Office Supervisor prior to her Epic consulting career.

Learn From Our Leaders: Q&A With Kyle Swarts

How and why did you decide to enter this career path? Well, it actually just fell into my lap. Before I got into healthcare, I was in banking and finance. I met a gentleman in 2007 who was seeking a regional Vice President of Sales – someone he could groom and mentor to help learn the business. I took the position with his healthcare IT company working with payers, and I just fell in love with the industry.
