Ovation Healthcare is the premier provider of operational services, helping hospitals and health systems with financial performance, purchasing and supplies, clinical resourcing, workforce solutions, and executive advisement

Octave Leadership Advisory Services

Octave helps hospital and health system executive leaders and governing boards identify, prioritize, and mitigate the challenges of strategy, growth, compliance, succession planning and access to capital.

For hospitals facing immediate challenges, we specialize in turnaround services, including access to capital, rapid savings opportunities, and advisory services. Our experts bring deep expertise and access to alternative models, and when necessary, lead organizations through restructuring to achieve ongoing viability.

Octave Leadership Advisory helps governing boards and leadership teams set organizational strategy, and focus on world-class clinical service and patient experience while staying true to the constant pursuit of a strong cornerstone for governance and leadership.

In working with Octave, Springfield Hospital in Vermont went from having one day of cash on hand to over 40 days cash and $18 million in net income.

For a small Midwestern hospital, Octave identified a false claims issue due to incorrect coding and billing and worked with the hospital to return the excess funds.

Octave Leadership Advisory Services provided the strategic plan for Gritman Medical Center to launch a general surgery program, which received 775 patient visits in the first four months after opening the practice.

Elevate Supply and Expense Management Solutions

Elevate is the “quiet engine” that powers the operations of hospitals and health systems and drives efficiencies in contract, spend and leveraged savings opportunities.

We help hospitals achieve supply chain cost savings of up to 12 percent as members of a 50-billion-dollar group purchasing organization. Hospitals retaining their independent purchasing authority renew their agreement at a rate of nearly 100 percent.

Elevate delivers an average supply savings of 10 percent across the entire Ovation Healthcare portfolio.

Elevate leverages market KPIs and analytic capabilities to identify 6 percent savings in purchased services.

Elevate utilizes a dedicated specialty channel to secure fill rates of 98+% for drugs at-risk of supply shortages.

Through labor benchmarking and staffing-to-demand analysis, a 12 percent reduction in annual labor expense was identified and implemented in radiology across two hospitals.

Amplify Revenue Cycle Management

Amplify reduces the cost to collect reimbursement from government and commercial payers. We accelerate and optimize collection in your revenue cycle performance.

Through their work with Amplify, Abbeville Area Medical Center increased collections by $1.1 million above what they collected in the prior year in addition to a volume increase of 14.9 percent.

Amplify worked with a hospital in the southwest to improve current payer contract performance, yielding approximately $4 million in additional revenue.

In working with Amplify, Cody Regional Health decreased AR greater than 90 days by 56 percent, decreasing the volume of AR over 90 days by 75 percent.

Amplify worked with a national physician group to help fuel expansion to new states and improve overall RCM operations, resulting in a 17% YOY increase in collections.
