Amanda Gutshall, BSN, Clinical Analyst, Broadlawns Medical Center
- I received my BSN degree from Grand View College, now Grand View University located in Des Moines, IA in 1998. After working 2 years at another healthcare facility in the metro Des Moines area, I began work as a floor nurse at Broadlawns Medical Center in 2000. Broadlawns is a 200-bed licensed safety net hospital in Polk County which encompasses the main metropolitan area of Des Moines, Ia. We serve many other surrounding counties and work closely with multiple agencies throughout Iowa to provide a healthy community in which there is accessible, cost-effective and high-quality patient care for all. Broadlawns is also a teaching facility, home to a family medicine, transitional year and psych residency programs. Now working on my 23rd year at Broadlawns, I transitioned from a floor nurse and supervisor to Clinical Analyst in 2010. My work with MEDITECH has taken me from 5.x, LSS, Client Server, 6.x, 2.1 to now 2.2 Expanse Web. Over the many years at Broadlawns, we have worked to move our small oncology clinic comprised of 1 Doctor and 1 ARNP and a staffed infusion center into the various platforms of MEDITECH with the most recent being Web Oncology in January of 2023. Besides being the main coordinator for the oncology platform I also work with multiple other modules including but not limited to PCS, PCM, ED, OM, SUR, Web Ambulatory.
