Raelynn Douglas, MBA, CHE
Dorota is an accomplished leader and a skilled manager of large teams. With excellent communication and interpersonal skills, she is effective at leading people and engaging teams in finding effective solutions in health care. Her "roll up your sleeves" approach to problem solving results in her being asked to lead numerous projects, facilitating detailed working groups, and being part of strategic leadership discussions. Her professional and collaborative approach with external partners is valuable to sustaining long-term and stable partnerships and finding immediate solutions to the day-to-day challenges that are so prevalent in health care. Her approach is to not find blame, rather she seizes opportunities to uncover the root cause, to fix problems from where they start and improve the many steps in the process along the way, encouraging joint efforts to achieve productive outcomes. Dorota is an experienced clinician who brings Nursing expertise and Quality Improvement skills to every project she is part of. I've observed her undertaking Quality of Care reviews, enforcing more rigour in action plans and patient safety initiatives, developing standards for high quality care, training internal and external teams in a new approach to care delivery, and striving for exemplary wound care management. Her pursuit of excellence shines through whether it is the development of best practices, engaging front line nurses in continuous education, undertaking process mapping, or finding more efficient ways to run a nursing clinic. I was so proud to work with this accomplished professional and to have her support me and my team in our partnerships with our service provider partners. She is an incredible asset to whatever organization she is part of, an excellent ambassador, and a strong role model for her team and her peers.
