Real Time Medical Webinar Speaker Bio
Margaret (Margie) Latrella, APN-C
Vice President, Clinical and Network Quality, Real Time Medical Systems | mlatrella@realtimemed.com
Margie brings 30+ years working as an acute care RN and cardiac APN in both hospital and physician practices to Real Time. Previously, she applied her clinical experience to her administrative role at St. Joseph’s Health, focusing on clinical programming, quality improvement interventions, and reporting for value-based programs. Margie demonstrated success in total cost of care savings in two-sided risk agreements, including MSSP ACO and CMS BPCI-A programs, by developing collaborative workflows and comprehensive care coordination necessary for success. She also led technology implementation to monitor patients in skilled nursing facilities, which played a major role in reduced readmissions and decreased length of stay in post-acute care facilities. Both physiological and social determinants of health were considered to ensure programming results in high quality outcomes across the continuum of care as patients transitioned from hospital to PAC and as they managed chronic and complex disease processes at home.
