Fractional Talent for Health and Life Sciences

Fractional talent can be a huge unlock for healthcare orgs, especially growing ones. Unlike other industries, healthcare has unique regulatory and compliance hurdles that often require decades of legal and government experience to successfully navigate. Not only that, but healthcare orgs often seek funding through non-dilutive, government grants in a way that most other companies do not.

If you don’t have the resources of a massive pharma company, payer, healthcare services provider, or HOPD system, you might still need to tap into that expertise. Fractional is a uniquely strong solution for these use cases, and we’ve seen countless examples of invaluable fractional support for healthcare startups.

Here are a few scenarios where fractional talent is especially impactful for healthcare organizations:

1. Fixing Patient Access & Intake: A fractional patient experience or operations lead can redesign the intake workflow, reduce friction points, and help identify bottlenecks that delay care. These leaders often have deep experience working across clinics, specialty groups, or health networks.
2. Navigating Regulatory & Compliance Requirements: A fractional compliance or regulatory leader with HIPAA and/or CMS experience can quickly stand up processes, documentation, and controls that protect patient data and meet requirements without slowing the organization down.
3. Optimizing Care Delivery Workflows: Fractional clinical operations leaders (often former nursing directors, clinic administrators, or heads of ambulatory ops) can help redesign care delivery workflows, build escalation protocols, and streamline communication between care teams.
4. Developing Reimbursement Strategy & Payer Negotiations: Fractional revenue cycle or reimbursement experts can analyze payer mix, denial rates, reimbursement timelines, and negotiate payer contracts, especially valuable for organizations moving into new lines of service.
