Dodd began her health care career as an acute-care nurse before moving into the community health industry. Over the years, she has established successful home care programs for two hospital systems; served as national director of home care operations for a national provider of home health, private duty and home infusion therapy services; and, helped develop national standards for care for the home health industry through her six years on the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization's (The Joint Commission) Home Care Professional Technical Advisory Committee. She also served a four year term on the National Association of Home Care (NAHC) board as the regional representative.
Envisioning a consulting firm that meets the needs of clients and serves as a compass to guide organizations in the right direction, Dodd increased her skills and gained invaluable experience. Dodd has worked with single- and multi-site providers, evaluating managed care's impact on their organization's operations and structure. She has also conducted home health feasibility analyses, using them to design and implement service delivery systems for home care providers. Her expertise and insight into strategic business planning has provided valuable direction to health care providers, payors and manufacturers who interface with the home care industry. Dodd writes and lectures on home care and presents at educational seminars for the home care industry.
Dodd's interest in the development of home care services in the international market culminated with the founding of Corridor International (CI) in 1999. Through CI, Dodd started working with Euro-Asian countries to develop their home care services, offering the guidance and advisement required for a new business start-up.
With her vision and leadership, Dodd has solidified The Corridor Group as a front-runner in home care and hospice consulting. By adapting to change and staying current on industry trends, she has laid the foundation for a future of success.
Message from the CEO
As a health care professional and home care expert it has been interesting to be a part of an ever changing landscape. The challenge to those of us who have chosen to play a role in health care services is to find ways to continually improve access and to assist in guaranteeing that quality of care is not a privilege but a right. Most importantly we don’t create a double standard in the access to care.
As the Founder of TCG and its subsidiaries, it has been exciting to observe the home care and hospice industries evolve into highly regarded health care service options to patients. The complexity of the business provides opportunity for growth and learning. We at TCG have always recognized the value of knowledge and strive to put forth this focus when we work with our clients in any capacity. I feel over the years this has become a key hallmark of TCG and represents the “Do the Right Thing Right” approach that we take seriously as an organization. We are committed to going the extra mile and to always be aware of this objective. Our company focus on customer service demonstrates our commitment to service quality to our loyal long-term clients and the new ones yet to come.
The business model that I developed over 16 years ago has proven to be as effective today as it was then. Our approach looks at cost effective workable solutions that fit your particular needs. The ability for us to draw upon the expertise of "Been there done that " Associates has proven to be a valuable asset of TCG's.The varied expertise of our Associates has been a long-term strategy for success. Our front line structure continues to represent the true backbone of the organization.
With loyalty and great respect for those who have dedicated their lives to caring for those in need of home care and hospice services, we at TCG stay focused on what really matters, the patients and their families. To that end, we strive through our interventions to play a role in making a difference too. Thank you for your interest and support of The Corridor Group.
