She also spent five years in healthcare consulting, where she led initiatives around software, care coordination, home care provision and hospice management.
“My roots are in patient care and advocacy, and it’s important for me that my work reflect that,” Rues said. “I’m proud to join Enclara because it’s a mission-driven company that puts the patient at the center of everything it does. Its approach to technology is all about helping nurses devote more time and attention to patient care. That’s something I just really wanted to be a part of.”
