Her VA counterparts see her as a go-to leader and knowledge expert to receive clear communications and expectations regarding clinical adoption events as they prepared for their go-live.
Mona Whiteside is a Healthcare Executive aligned to the VA Federal Clinical Adoption team. Mona engages in work with a phenomenal level of compassion and enthusiasm. Mona exemplifies Oracle's characteristics of cross-team collaboration and displays characteristics of empathy, self-awareness, and the desire to create a healthy work environment. Mona is being nominated for this year’s Daisy Award by the Federal Clinical Adoption leadership for her collaboration and contributions to the VA’s successful client engagements.
Mona was an instrumental leader of two VA Go-Lives in 2022, Jonathan M. Wainwright and the VA Southern Oregon Healthcare System. She worked tirelessly to support her team and the clinicians who care for our country’s veterans. The mission to go-live was critical; Mona answered the call and delivered her best.
During Mona’s early engagement with Federal Clinical Adoption, she led a community-wide clinical adoption effort to collaborate with her peers and lay a solid foundation for standardized clinical adoption processes, tools, and collateral. These tools and processes were localized to the VA and used during each of her site’s go-live. These tools are now a part of the standardized approach to clinical adoption activities for all VA Clinical Adoption staff.
Mona’s collaboration efforts also extend to her VA peers onsite. She worked with her entire Oracle and VA team to co-facilitate a Go-Live preparedness event. This seamless, Oracle-VA one-team delivery bolstered confidence in her site's readiness to go live. Mona’s Oracle engagement management team shares that she is a peer and trusted advisor. Her VA counterparts see her as a go-to leader and knowledge expert to receive clear communications and expectations regarding clinical adoption events as they prepared for their go-live.
Her collaborations also extend to other external communities. She loves Nursing Informatics and has a passion to serve nurses on their informatics career journey. During the busiest months of client readiness activities, Mona answered the call to become a mentor through the Oracle-Cerner Nightingale Challenge in 2022. By volunteering, Mona helped support Oracle-Cerner nurses across our communities find a path to success in nursing informatics within our organization.
Mona never ceases to amaze the team with her multiple contributions toward the goal of supporting the VA’s mission to provide veterans and their families with a seamless medical record to improve delivery of veteran care. For this, we are pleased to nominate her for this year’s Daisy Award.
