Beyond direct patient care, Dr. Wilson’s leadership journey has been marked by a consistent focus on quality improvement and regulatory compliance. During her tenure as Director of Quality and Strategic Improvement at Howard University Hospital, a tertiary care academic hospital, her ability to spearhead complex quality management initiatives was evident. Under her leadership, the hospital achieved a 74% improvement in sepsis management (SEP-1) within three months. This sustained achievement earned recognition in both the District of Columbia and Maryland. Additionally, the hospital achieved remarkable progress in critical areas, which included a 23% decrease in central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates and zero CLABSI events in an intensive care unit for over two years. These achievements underscore Dr. Wilson’s ability to translate strategic plans into tangible results, mitigating vulnerabilities and enhancing patient safety.

As a recognized leader in healthcare quality, Dr. Wilson has served as Chairperson of the Perinatal Collaborative for the Adventist Healthcare System and Co-Chairperson of the Quality Collaborative for the District of Columbia Hospital Association (DCHA). She has also been an Advisory Board Member for the DCHA Perinatal Quality Collaborative and served as a Physician Mentor for the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Surgical Education Scholars Program. Dr. Wilson is passionate about developing the next generation of healthcare leaders. As a dedicated educator, she has served as a faculty member for ExamPro Educational Consultants since 2014, providing comprehensive board certification preparatory support to physicians. She also developed a four-week elective quality rotation for resident physicians at Howard University Hospital to increase their knowledge and engagement in quality initiatives, hospital operations, and performance improvement.

Dr. Wilson, a highly esteemed change management leader, has implemented data- driven initiatives and employed Lean Six Sigma methodologies to achieve positive outcomes. However, her commitment to delivering high-quality care goes beyond mere statistical improvement. She aims to ensure that all patients receive consistent and effective patient-centered care.
