Aava Executive Operations Diagnostic
A rapid executive-level review for healthcare organizations that need clarity, prioritization, and a practical path toward operational stabilization.
A senior-level read on where performance is breaking down.
The Executive Operations Diagnostic is a focused entry-point engagement for healthcare organizations that need a senior-level assessment of where performance is breaking down. Aava reviews the organization’s operating structure, revenue flow, staffing model, census process, billing friction, compliance exposure, leadership alignment, and KPI visibility, then delivers a concise executive findings memo with prioritized recommendations.
Built for operators carrying real operational strain.
- Behavioral health and SUD treatment programs
- Detox, residential, PHP, and IOP providers
- Specialty healthcare operators
- Small to mid-sized healthcare organizations
- Healthcare founders preparing to scale
- Organizations experiencing census, staffing, billing, or compliance strain
- Owners who need an outside executive review before committing to deeper support
Eight dimensions of operating performance.
A written executive findings memo.
The engagement concludes with a written executive findings memo identifying key operational risks, revenue leakage points, stabilization priorities, and recommended next steps.
A diagnostic that leads somewhere.
The diagnostic is one structured way to begin. Where deeper support is warranted, it can lead into a clear, staged path.
Executive Operations Diagnostic
A tiered fixed-fee, senior-level review that identifies where performance is breaking down and what to address first.
30-Day Stabilization Sprint
A focused, time-boxed effort to arrest the highest-priority risks surfaced in the diagnostic.
Fractional Executive Support or Broader Management Engagement
Ongoing operating authority — from fractional leadership to department or enterprise management — scoped to the organization's need.
Fixed-fee diagnostics starting at $3,500.
The Executive Operations Diagnostic is scoped as a tiered fixed fee based partly on licensed or operational bed count and partly on organizational complexity.
