Revolutionizing Healthcare: Increasing Joy and Access to Care with Nio Queiro

In this episode of Leaders in Medical Billing, Chanie Gluck speaks with Nio Queiro, the founder of Queiro Group and the Chief Strategy Officer for Nashville General Hospital. Nio shared her incredible journey in the healthcare industry, which spans over 30 years and includes roles such as the SVP of Revenue Cycle at Tufts Medicine and consulting positions with major organizations like Deloitte. 

Nio's story is one of resilience and transformation. She recounted a life-changing health crisis in 2021 that led her to reevaluate her purpose and ultimately start her own consulting firm. Her firm focuses on organizational transformation, AI management, and leadership development, all aimed at creating empathy-led patient experiences. 

 One of the highlights of our conversation was Nio's book, "Joy Notes," which emphasizes the importance of finding joy even in difficult times. She explained how music and neuroscience can help shift our emotional states, offering practical advice for listeners to incorporate joy into their daily lives. 

Nio also discussed her work at Nashville General Hospital, where she is dedicated to ensuring access to care for all residents in Middle Tennessee. She emphasized the importance of seeing patients as whole individuals and tailoring care to their cultural and personal needs. 

We also touched on the critical issue of workforce development in the revenue cycle industry. Nio is actively involved in educating the next generation of professionals through online courses, internships, and fellowships, aiming to bridge the workforce gap and bring fresh talent into the field.
