In the brief time Sarah was with us at Synensys, she made significant contributions to the development of Defense Health Agency (DHA) Patient Safety Specialists. She actively participated in peer development sessions, providing encouragement and support to the newest members of the Synensys Patient Safety team. She also created a simplified training presentation to help users understand and navigate the DHA Safety Event Reporting and Corrective Actions (SERCA) Tool, an application that allows for real-time, self-directed analysis of a variety of patient safety data sources.

We all congratulate Sarah on her advancement and wish her continued success in her healthcare and patient safety journey!
