Due to sudden physician illness, ROI will be ceasing operations on 12/31/2024. ROI was a 360° integrated MSK Institute with robotic-assisted joint replacement and general orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, physical and occupational therapy, chiropractic, massage, and chronic disease management services under one roof. I was accountable to each owner for overseeing the daily operations of the clinic and ensuring that our patients receive the highest quality care possible. Drawing upon my work experience as a health law paralegal (ABA-05998835), former Orthopaedic OR nurse, and former HMO Director of provider relations, as well as my advanced degrees in health administration, I am uniquely qualified to manage the complexities of this vertically integrated medical practice. One of my key responsibilities is business development and contracting. i was also responsible for training and professional development of our staff, ensuring that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide the best possible care to our patients. I put my deep understanding of the regulatory and legal issues affecting healthcare providers to use to ensure that our practice grew honorably and ethically and was in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I used many creative marketing and public relations approaches to grow each vertical while preserving the clinical autonomy and focus on patient care for the practitioners. I managed the clinic and fit in time for consulting to other healthcare organizations on innovative category development, integration, revenue cycle and contracting, healthcare price transparency and pricing integrity, and strategic planning and execution. The proof of my results-oriented successes were in the numbers; more specifically, reflected in the volumetric growth, revenue, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction, and professional satisfaction of the providers and staff.

i leveraged my deep experience as a former ASC administrator and OR nurse, to grow SGSC’s outpatient cash pay surgery program and medical tourism program. i developed its patient redirection programs for insurers, health expense sharing programs, TPAs, and ERISA employers. I negotiated contracts for nearly 500 fully-inclusive, bundled case rate procedures across 15 specialties.I was responsible for creating and executing an overarching strategy to increase patient volume, expand service offerings, and increase revenue for the ambulatory surgery center.I established strong relationships with physicians, insurers, employers, case managers, and other potential referral sources to increase patient referrals to the center.I conducted market research and analysis to identify trends, surgery price benchmarks, assessed competition, competition, and developed strategies to improve the center's position in the market and expand clinical service lines that appeared to be trending and sustainable in the long term because capital expenditure for the clinical technologies was so costly.As a former clinician and administrator I collaborated with clinical staff to identify opportunities to improve patient care and outcomes, as well as to develop new services that meet the needs of patients and referring physicians.I developed and managed marketing and advertising overarching campaigns to promote the center's services and increase patient volume. I worked with creatives, content specialists, graphics, video and outdoor advertising specialists, but also did the work personally if a criticality arose that caused the hired creatives to miss a deadline.I worked closely with the center's executive team and investors to justify marketing budget requests, show where the advantages exist, trim inefficiencies, manage their domain budgets, track financial performance, and identify opportunities to increase revenue and reduce expenses.
