WORK HISTORY
Chief Executive Officer @Affinity Health Partners
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, US
Affinity Health Partners mission is to improve the rural health systems performance with the highest value management and advisory services customized to each client’s unique needs. Considering the complexity of the problems facing rural healthcare, we believe that our client’s trust in engaging us requires leadership by deeply experienced advisors.As leaders in the healthcare industry, we understand how critical it is first to understand our client and their challenges and then to communicate the resultant strategy in a way the client understand. Often when an organization embarks on a \"Save my facility\" approach to management and consulting engagement, it will fail due in large part to a failure to communicate in both directions. We are passionate about what we do, and we recognize how critical communications and comprehension is to the success of any engagement we are engaged.Affinity Health Partners leverages a rapid change model to transform our clients’ needs and wants into reality. The Affinity, Rapid Results programs, focus on improving the existing healthcare delivery system, from finance, revenue, clinical quality, and access to care perspective. With the Affinity, Rapid Results approach the benefits and results are derived faster than typical painstaking consulting models. By using the assess, analyze, design and implement the model in parallel our programs quickly reduce operating expenses, improve revenue cycle, and enhance patient outcomes. With this innovative approach, our clients see results faster than any other management company we could be compared.
