Operational Transformation
The Challenge
A 12-hospital health system facing margin compression from rising labor costs, declining reimbursement rates, and an aging facility portfolio. Operating margins had fallen from 4.2% to 1.1% over three years.
Our Approach
We deployed a 16-week diagnostic across all 12 facilities, benchmarking 340 operational metrics against top-quartile health systems. Our team identified $34M in savings opportunities across labor productivity, supply chain consolidation, and revenue cycle optimization — then embedded with hospital leadership teams to implement.
Results
- $34M in annualized savings identified
- $22M captured in Year 1
- Operating margin restored to 3.8%
- Length of stay reduced by 0.4 days
- Supply costs reduced 12% through GPO renegotiation
