Bridging Clinical Workflows and Technology for Rural Healthcare
Empowering rural hospitals and clinics to strengthen patient care through practical, people-focused clinical informatics solutions.
Rural Healthcare Expertise
Clinical Informatics Designed for Rural Healthcare
At Informatics Bridge Consulting LLC, we understand the realities of rural healthcare—limited resources, close-knit teams, and the need for systems that truly support patient care.
Founded by Cheryl Hinman, BSN, RN, Informatics Bridge Consulting brings over a decade of experience in clinical informatics, healthcare operations, and quality improvement to hospitals and clinics across Wyoming and the Mountain West.
Our mission is to help healthcare organizations strengthen how they use their electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical systems—improving efficiency, compliance, and patient outcomes in a way that feels natural to how rural teams work.
Clinical Informatics in Action
Connecting People, Processes, and Clinical Systems
Informatics Bridge Consulting partners with healthcare organizations to bridge the gap between clinical practice and technology. Through EHR Optimization & System Advancement, Training & Education, MIPS/QPP Compliance, and Workflow Design, we help teams make the most of the tools they already have—without unnecessary complexity.
“Technology should support the people who use it every day. My mission is to make that happen in every rural hospital I work with.” — Cheryl Hinman, BSN, RN
