"We hired Jason to help us with our Charge Master. He came on site and began the process. During his on-site visit I received some disturbing information in regards to our situation with the county treasurer. As it turned out, the next day I had my first meeting with Jason and he was able to quickly bring me up to speed on what he had identified in several key areas of our business that had not been recognized or addressed and were critical. The meeting quickly shifted to how he could help with our overall financial issues and I asked him to extend his contract to incorporate a full business recovery plan.
He was able to help write a plan that was acceptable to the county, our board and our financiers (HUD and Red Capital) and we are in the process of implementing this now. Additionally, he was able to tactfully help us see what other services we needed such as leadership and governance training and he will be assisting us with this.
My 24-year career with the hospital has been in a clinical leadership capacity, as a nurse I like to know exactly where the patient stands, what are the threats to their recovery and how can I meet those needs as quickly as possible. As the CEO I look at our situation as a critical event and have been very glad to have Jason here to “diagnosis the matter quickly, prescribe the right course of care, and get the patient back on the road to recovery”.
I most heartily endorse Jason is his endeavors. Let me know if there is anything else I can answer and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
