Derek Pineda is a Nurse Practitioner specializing in interventional cardiology, who has performed thousands of diagnostic procedures and assisted in a wide range of complex cardiac catheterization interventions. While clinical excellence remains at the core of my work, I am equally passionate about leveraging technology to optimize workflows, enhance efficiency, and improve patient outcomes.

I bring cross-domain expertise to the intersection of clinical operations, decision support, data/analytics, and health IT, translating frontline needs into digital solutions, guiding governance and change management, and training teams for sustained adoption. This approach has supported successful implementations such as a conversational AI intake assistant in the Cath Lab and a system-wide AMI care coordination platform aligned with evidenced-based pathways and national quality standards.
