Media
CodeBlueNow! is a national health care advocacy organization based in Seattle, Washington. In 2004, Roberta consulted with them to develop their first radio broadcast on Health Care Systems, to increase public knowledge about health care in America, and stimulate grassroots dialogue for public policy changes.

Grantor Reporting
CodeBlueNow! was selected in 2006, to pilot a web based survey tool to gauge public consensus for proposed health care changes. Roberta reviewed the data from the web-based software program and created a report integrating qualitative and quantitative elements for a grantor report in 2007.

Strategic Planning
Highline Medical Center is a community hospital in Burien, Washington, with a significant cardiac care practice. In 2004, Highline was interested in developing a Wellness Center as a means to identify those who were at risk for cardiac disease earlier in the disease progression. In 2004, Roberta worked with St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada to identify benchmarks that could be used for program measures for the proposed HMC hospital wellness program. Roberta's work integrated a preliminary feasibility study into an implementation blueprint, analyzing start-up costs, as well as operation expenses, and revenue streams from new services.

Marketing
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is a consortium of health care providers including the University of Washington, Seattle Children's Hospital, and Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center. From 2002 to 2003, Roberta worked with SCCA to plan and execute a series of physician relations events in the Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho (WAMI) Region, to increase practitioner knowledge for organ transplantation services through SCCA. Additionally, she surveyed transplant centers throughout the United States to assess services and potential markets for international transplant patients.


Health Policy Analysis
Seton Health Network, now known as Seton Family of Hospitals, is a nine-hospital network located in Central Texas, and is the largest network in Ascension Health's system. In 2006, Roberta consulted with the Advocacy and Government Relations department at Seton to evaluate the Deficit Reduction Act's implications for Medicaid patients. Her report included a review of Medicaid reforms in progress throughout the United States and a summary of measures for Seton to consider advocating for in the Texas legislature.
