About JNI
Founded by a dynamic nursing informatics leader with over 28 years of experience
JNI Consulting is led by Shelli-Ann McKenzie, MS, RN, PMP, CPHIMS, Founder and CEO. She was named to the ATL Plus 50 Most Powerful Women list (2025) and is a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. She is a Post-Masters DNP candidate in Executive Leadership at Arkansas State University, researching the technology preparation to practice gap in healthcare.
Shelli-Ann has delivered more than 20 EHR implementation and optimization engagements across Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, McKesson, and GE Centricity Perinatal, for organizations from community hospitals to academic medical centers. She built CIX™, powered by the Readivance™ Framework, to help leaders assess organizational readiness and prioritize technology initiatives by measurable value. That same lens now extends to AI adoption, clinical workforce development, and healthcare operations.
