Technical assistance for OPOs and Transplant Centers

With experience in both organ procurement organization (OPO) and transplant center leadership, Jill holds a special place in her heart for this life-saving work. We complete organizational assessments, create tangible recommendations and develop performance improvement plans.

Organizational Assessments

Is a department or service line in your organization struggling? Are you unclear where the gaps are and what should be done to improve? We help assess leadership effectiveness, key processes, and patient experience.

Performance Improvement

Healthcare is a thriving environment for performance improvement. But how do you prioritize improvement initiatives? How can you be strategic about change management and avoid burnout for change champions? We help you manage performance improvement at the local and organizational level.

Client Testimonials

High Quality Work

"Jill provided us with an excellent assessment. She was reassuring to the team members that she interviewed and really captured the essence of how things worked in a quick and efficient manner. She is able to put people at ease and they were comfortable talking with her and sharing information that was needed for a comprehensive assessment. Jill was able to take the information she gained during her site visit and turn it into a thoughtful and useful report that was beneficial to our program and to senior leadership. I highly recommend Jill. You will always receive high quality work from her."
