He has worked with top-tier academic medical centers, multistate health systems, pediatric hospitals, and medical groups across the country. He has specific expertise advising organizations on improving financial and operational performance, transforming their operating models, and using existing and emerging technologies. He has served in interim executive leadership roles within leading pediatric institutions and large multistate health systems.
Throughout his career, Jon has:
- Led the design and implementation for a referral management, scheduling, nurse triage, and financial clearance shared services model for a top-ranked children’s hospital in California, resulting in a 15% improvement in authorizations secured prior to service, 10-day improvement in referral turnaround time, and 20% improvement in call abandonment rates.
- Directed the revenue cycle front-end and back-end transformation for an 11-facility, three-state health system, resulting in bottom-line improvement of $62 million in annual recurring benefit.
- Directed a care access engagement at a top-ranked teaching and research institution on the East Coast to redesign its 20-ambulatory-clinic contact center with over 200 staff members.
