Jefferson, Philadelphia, PA
For many years Jefferson Health and Thomas Jefferson University operated as related but separate organizations and had separate governance and leadership structures. In 2013 the organization embarked on a wholesale restructuring that included combining the organizations . We were engaged by the new CEO of the combined entity to help develop the strategic plans to operationalize the combination and propel it to new heights. As part of our work we helped senior leadership develop their “Blueprint for Strategic Action” that resulted in significantly improved educational and financial performance. Accomplishments included:
1. Facilitated Staff, Physician and Executive Leadership work groups to develop Strategies related to:
- “One Jefferson” integration of University, Hospital and Physician Enterprise
- Patient and Family Satisfaction

- Technology
- Philanthropy
3. Defined new tactical initiatives and consolidated with existing ongoing projects
