Our Impact
Operational Stability at Pivotal Moments
During the early days of a public health emergency, we provided one client with interim leadership, clinical support, and incident management to stabilize operations at their healthcare facilities. We analyzed operations, staffing needs, and operational readiness responses in preparation for subsequent surges, including implementing a surveillance and contact tracing program that resulted in no patient deaths and reduced facility morbidity, and providing critical infection control and prevention expertise.
As a result of this proven partnership, we engaged in further work with this client, collaborating with the leadership and staff to implement a regulatory readiness structure. This resulted in an average reduction of regulatory findings by 25 percent, leading to:
- A safer patient environment
- More efficient processes and sustainable practices for the organization
- Increased staff competencies and confidence in readiness sustainability position
- Reduced need for action and remediation plans, leading to a positive impact on staff, time, and financial resources
