Signe has an unbroken history of over three decades in acute care hospitals, between the Providence Health and Adventist Health care systems. Areas of regulatory fluency include The Joint Commission (TJC), Title 22, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), The Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
She maintains an extensive knowledge of precedent-setting medical staff legal cases, which serves as a protective mechanism for both medical centers as well as organized & self-governing Medical Staffs. She strongly believes that physician clinical competence equals patient safety, and her years of intensive work with physician malpractice, investigations, criminal issues and regulatory statutes are conducted under that guiding principle.
