"On behalf of Covenant Health System, I'm pleased to endorse Ashley Wendel and Physician Leader Group as a valued business partner. Over the past two years we have engaged Ashley as a physician executive coach and also as our primary change management consultant for our Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation. As an executive coach, Ashley has been extremely successful in helping our Chief Medical Officer transition from his medical practice to a very demanding administrative role. Ashley brings great talent in helping physicians navigate the steep learning curve of this transition. As a change management consultant, Ashley was engaged late in the game during our EHR implementation to help us overcome several organization and structure challenges. In short order, Ashley was able to help our team diagnose potential gaps and establish a working structure that enabled our implementation to proceed successfully. In both engagements, Ashley helped our organization realize positive outcomes."
