Practice Turnaround Engagements

Project-based support for practices facing acute revenue or productivity decline. Stabilize cash, find the break, and rebuild the operating discipline that prevents a repeat.

Best for practices with falling collections, a failed billing transition, or a departure that left operations exposed.

What this engagement covers

A practice in acute decline — collections falling month over month, a billing transition that soured, a key departure that left operations exposed — needs a different cadence than a planned engagement. The Practice Turnaround engagement opens with rapid cash and accounts-receivable triage in the first two weeks to stop the bleeding, then moves into root-cause analysis across billing, coding, staffing, and the schedule to find the actual break. Scott Dickinson installs a weekly operating cadence with owner-level scorecards so the recovery is visible and measurable, not anecdotal. The engagement ends with a handoff plan that rebuilds the operating discipline required to keep the gains — the goal is a practice that does not need a turnaround again.

  • Rapid cash and AR triage in the first two weeks
  • Root-cause analysis across billing, coding, staffing, and schedule
  • Weekly operating cadence with owner-level scorecards
  • Handoff plan so gains hold after the engagement ends
