Ms. Agosto provides oversight for a department of more than 7,000 nurses and clinical care services staff. She has led numerous successful cross-organizational improvement and operating plan initiatives. These include development of a novel nursing and clinical care services dashboard that promotes real-time, data-driven decisions regarding patient care, staffing and budget planning. CHOP is the country’s first institution to publish on this topic with two papers on this dashboard in The Journal of Nursing Administration. As a result of strong use of data, the nursing department has established four distinct programs from high school through advanced practice to support current and future development of diverse nursing staff. Exceptional academic partnerships also led to innovations in preceptorship, clinical education and simulation.
