Donna M. Prosser, DNP, RN, NE-BC, FACHE

Dr. Donna Prosser has been in the healthcare industry for more than 35 years and is currently a Senior Consulting Director at Vizient, Inc., where she focuses on helping hospitals across the U.S. to implement organizational transformation and performance improvement solutions that improve healthcare quality and patient safety.

She spent the first fifteen years of her career at the bedside and transitioned into administration in 2002 after a personal experience helped her to understand just how fragmented and unsafe patient care can be. This experience ignited a passion to improve healthcare quality and safety that continues to burn to this day.

Dr. Prosser previously served as Chief Clinical Officer at the Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF), where she worked with healthcare professionals, patients, family members, and legislators to improve the safety of care across the globe. Prior to joining the PSMF, she served as a healthcare consultant and was responsible for clinical practice improvement across Martin Health System, while also functioning as Site Administrator and Chief Nursing Officer for the system’s largest hospital. She previously focused on improving quality and safety through administrative, education, and clinical roles at both Carteret Health Care and the Washington Hospital Center.
