ABOUT PATTI MCCUE AND PROVEN METHODS CONSULTING

A Passionate Advocate for Healthcare Excellence

Healthcare is in my DNA. From childhood days spent bandaging stuffed animals and neighborhood pets to following in the footsteps of a beloved family friend who radiated joy and compassion as a nurse, my path was always clear. 

This deep-rooted passion led me to become an award-winning Chief Nursing Officer, leading teams through triumphs and challenges in diverse hospitals across the country. Each step of the way, my commitment to patient care, staff empowerment, and relentless pursuit of excellence has only grown stronger.

Proven Leadership in Diverse Settings

That early spark led me to a fulfilling journey as a nurse, then a nurse leader, and ultimately, an award-winning Chief Nursing Officer (CNO). I’ve had the privilege of leading diverse teams in hospitals across the country—from the bustling heart of an academic medical center to the vast expanse of the nation’s largest rural hospital. Each experience has enriched my understanding of healthcare’s unique challenges and opportunities, fueling my passion for driving positive change.

But it’s not just about the credentials. It’s about the personal touch, the genuine connections, and the shared pursuit of excellence. I believe in building strong relationships, empowering teams, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. At the heart of my work are three unwavering principles:

The Patient

Their well-being and experience come first.

The Healthcare Team

Nurses, doctors, and every staff member deserve support and empowerment.

The Outcomes

We must continually strive to be the best we can be, delivering the highest quality care. 

Whether I’m stepping in as an interim CNO to guide your organization through a transition, coaching your leaders to reach their full potential, or collaborating on a project to enhance patient safety, my focus is always on delivering results that matter.

PROVEN METHODS CONSULTING

A Legacy of Excellence

In 2017, I founded Proven Methods Consulting, a culmination of my life’s work. I wanted to share the expertise I’d honed over decades, helping other organizations achieve their goals and elevate the standard of care. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, a deep understanding of healthcare’s complexities, and an unwavering commitment to the people at the heart of it all—the patients, the nurses, and the entire healthcare team.
