Dr. Rooney spent thirteen years at Ochsner Health, most recently as Director of Nursing Leadership Development for the system, and served as President of the Louisiana State Nurses Association from 2020 to 2023. She holds a doctorate in executive nurse leadership and has advised the CareEffects work since 2020. She sets the nursing practice of the service: how findings are read and presented from a nurse's perspective, what a conversation guide must do, and how the monthly session with executive and unit leaders is conducted.

Chief Data Scientist
Dr. Zheng holds a PhD in industrial engineering with minors in applied statistics and computer science, and his doctoral work used Bayesian statistical models and optimization to find interpretable structure in large text collections. He has worked with the science team across MedMined, MedSnap, and Indicator Sciences, including the computer vision behind MedSnap's medication authentication. At Indicator Sciences he and Dr. Brossette work through the hardest design questions in the models that produce each month's findings.
