 Christina Quinlan, Founder

Christina Rose Consulting

Christina Quinlan began consulting with health centers across northern New England sixteen years ago to bridge the implementation of electronic health records, practice management platforms, billing practices, and quality improvement with practical implications of day-to-day health center operations.

In blending the experiences of working at a membership organization - dedicated to strengthening and supporting community health centers - and managing the operations of health care practices, Christina developed unique insights into process improvement and project management in the health center setting.

Christina has worked in the health center setting for 26 years and has touched every aspect of operations. Before this work, she dedicated more than a decade to garnering hands-on experience in health center operations and practice management.

Her current efforts address the critical role of tying, planning, and implementing systems- revenue cycle management, population health management, or value-based care – with everyday health center operations, workflows, and reporting.

Christina is not only a subject matter expert in health center operations, revenue cycle management, and telehealth innovation but is also an experienced facilitator who is well-versed in leading crucial conversations.

While she possesses the autonomy to address critical deliverables, the value in leveraging multi-disciplinary teams to plan for and pursue shared goals drives her work. Through this lens, she works with leadership and staff to establish practice-wide buy-in, shared decision-making, accountability, and sustainability.
