A clearer picture.
A better next step.

I’m Inayah, a clinical leader who builds practical tools for the questions that keep coming up. I turn scattered records and expectations into views people can use to understand a case, prepare for a review, or decide what needs attention.

Selected work / 2026

Three tools used in practice. Three different questions.

01 / Client visibility & clinical review

Client Dashboard

The view I now open first—before the practice-management software or data-collection system.

ExcelSample-data demoManual source updates

The question: What do I need to know about this client?

A shared client record, with clinic, clinician, and individual-client views.

The problem

A complete case picture lived across treatment plans, Ensora, and practice-management records. Caregiver and staffing details depended on manual updates, and procedural-fidelity reviews varied across Clinical Directors.

What I built

I organized client context, service delivery, assessment history, program audits, and fidelity observations into connected Excel views. A shared roster supplies the summaries; client-specific audits and a shared fidelity log hold the review detail.

What changed

Client View became my starting point for stakeholder conversations. I screen-shared it when introducing cases to BCBAs supporting our clinic from other locations. Two BCBAs and a Clinical Director gave positive feedback about its usefulness.

Monthly program reviews helped surface programming gaps before reauthorization preparation. I also observed substantially less information-gathering effort when preparing reports; time savings were not formally measured.

From my workflowThe practical test: could I explain a case with this tab open? This became the tab I actually used.

Design decisions, workflow & scope

Three levels of detail

Start with the clinic, narrow to a clinician’s caseload, then open a client profile.

Review before the deadline

Compare programming with requested hours during monthly audits, before assembling a reauthorization report.

Keep critical errors visible

Track selected data-integrity concerns separately from the overall fidelity score.

The review cycle
Update the roster → review program audits → record fidelity observations → review flagged clients → prepare feedback and reports.

Scope: Program-count comparisons prompt clinical review; they do not determine treatment adequacy or authorization eligibility. A dedicated caregiver-facing screen-share view is a planned enhancement.

02 / Risk prioritization & audit preparation

Compliance & Risk Command Center

A shared view of deadlines, documentation gaps, and the next action.

ExcelSample-data demoManual source updates

The question: What needs attention—and what evidence do we have?

Selected risks are separated from source coverage and recorded review dates.
Detail from the sample-data workbook. Open at full size to inspect the labels.

The problem

Authorization dates conflicted between records, documents were difficult to identify, and credential and training information was scattered. Preparing for review meant searching across systems and emails.

What I built

I created an Excel command center with a risk dashboard, a deadline radar, and trackers for reauthorizations, RBT certification, BCBA credentials, Safety-Care training, staff readiness, and authorization and billing documentation.

What changed

During an insurance audit, the Auth & Billing tab helped me assess documentation against the minimum requirements and focus preparation on relevant gaps—including caregiver acknowledgments and signed treatment plans.

I maintained the workbook, and my operations partner referenced it for certification and training-status questions. I observed less search time and more focused audit preparation. No audit outcome is attributed to the workbook.

From my workflowThe useful question changed from “What might they ask for?” to “Which relevant records still need attention?”

Design decisions, workflow & scope

Missing is not verified

Keep missing information distinct from confirmed readiness.

Show the basis for the status

Put recorded-field coverage and source-update dates alongside selected domain summaries.

Give a finding somewhere to go

Identify the source tracker and use detailed action, owner, due-date, and evidence fields for follow-up.

The review cycle
Verify source records → update trackers → review selected risks → inspect detailed readiness tabs → assign and revisit follow-up.

Scope: The main dashboard covers selected risks. BCBA credential and Auth & Billing reviews remain separate parts of the workflow. Readiness indicators do not certify compliance or guarantee audit approval.

03 / Weekly performance & coaching

Quality & Outcomes Command Center

A repeatable weekly view that connects performance measures with coaching follow-up.

ExcelSample-data demoManual source updates

The question: Who needs support, and what should we discuss?

A team overview connects trends, individual performance, and coaching prompts.
Detail from the sample-data workbook. Open at full size to inspect the labels.

The problem

In one review attempt, I spent about 30 minutes navigating reports without finding the information I needed. One report returned an error, another omitted my clinic, and another provided monthly totals instead of the weekly clinician detail needed.

What I built

I consolidated selected weekly metrics into a team dashboard, individual clinician view, Weekly Snapshot, and performance-improvement tracker. Defined performance rules generate status indicators and coaching prompts.

What changed

Retrieving source records and updating the workbook typically took approximately 10–15 minutes, including about five minutes to update the reporting week. The earlier 30-minute search had not produced the required KPI view.

Missed targets became easier to identify, and coaching discussions became easier to prepare. This is an observed workflow comparison, not a controlled time study or a like-for-like percentage reduction.

From my workflowA useful weekly review should end with a next step, not another search for a report.

Design decisions, workflow & scope

Name the source

Use rendered appointment records in the practice-management system and exclude cancelled appointments.

Use consistent units

Enter rendered hours, or convert rendered units to hours before entry.

Connect status with follow-up

Use defined rules to support coaching priorities, then document follow-up in the performance-improvement tracker.

The review cycle
Filter rendered appointments → summarize activity by clinician → update Weekly Snapshot and reporting week → review statuses → document coaching follow-up.

Scope: Data entry and reporting-week updates are manual. Coaching prompts support a discussion; the director still interprets causes and selects the response.

How I think about the work

The spreadsheet is the tool.
The workflow is the point.

Start with the question.

What does someone need to know in the middle of a case discussion, a weekly review, or an audit? Organize around that task.

Make uncertainty visible.

A missing record is different from a completed check. A current-looking dashboard is only as useful as the information behind it.

Leave room for judgment.

Use formulas for repeatable calculations and flags. Keep interpretation, prioritization, and the next action with the person doing the work.

Tools & ownership. These demos are built in Excel. I defined the operational requirements and business rules, with AI assistance for formula construction and refinement. Existing practice-management, data-collection, and reporting systems provided the context for the workflows; these demos do not integrate automatically with those systems.

Evidence & limits. The portfolio uses sample data. Results described here are observations from my clinic-level use, not controlled studies. The workbooks require manual maintenance and support review rather than independently establishing clinical effectiveness, compliance, or authorization eligibility.

The next chapter

Bring me the process that takes too much explaining.

I’m bringing my clinical leadership experience into technology-focused work in systems, process improvement, and operational enablement. I’m interested in making complicated work easier to understand and carry out.
