Clinical outcomes research is the foundation for the impact of PaceSetter & Associates’ work in clinical usability, data-driven product development, and evidenced-based communications.

Sound clinical evidence has the ability to highlight relevant outcomes — improved patient outcomes, streamlined clinical workflow, improved clinical usability through human factors design and return-on-investment (ROI).

"Karen is an insightful and committed business partner. I've worked with Karen in three separate roles at Philips - Global Marketing for Patient Monitoring, Business Development for the Healthcare Incubator and as an Independent Contractor where I brought her on board to a critical Home Healthcare business project. Karen is my go-to resource when I need clear, strategic recommendations with tangible, actionable plans. She gets in the data. She gets the right stakeholders aligned. She closes the sale. She rallies the team. Karen's breadth of experience and "can-do" ethic makes her an invaluable leader on any project."
