Advancing state-of-the-art healthcare performance

What I Do

bg_nurse.png

I work with healthcare institutions, payer groups and bio/med tech companies to develop and implement growth and scaling strategies to substantially improve key performance metrics.

I partner with you to create programs, workflows, growth plans specifically designed to your unique needs and ecosystem culture. My approach is grounded in real-world implementation, and is results-oriented.

People usually contact me when they are looking for consulting support to re-evaluate, or develop and implement forward-looking strategy, translate technology or software into real-world clinical operations, optimize existing processes and/or implement new change into dynamic organizations.

Testimonials

Andy Stunk

+ Andy Strunk

"Julie consulted with the Innovation Lab at Wolters Kluwer Health, providing strategic advice regarding product design features, use cases and implementation for a new software product, designed for the early detection and treatment of sepsis.

During my four years working with Julie, we led engagements at multiple hospital pilot sites where Julie established and drove governance processes to implement organization-wide clinical protocols. Garnering medical staff’s support of the implementation of those protocols was pivotal for building a highly-reliable process; we subsequently built them into the software workflow to ensure best practices would be followed going forward.

Throughout the process, Julie demonstrated her diplomacy skills and overall mastery at aligning stakeholders including medical and nursing staff as well as administration. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any initiatives that require expertise in data-driven human factors and change management work in the healthcare setting!"

I had the opportunity to work with and learn from Julie Kliger on a series of engagements when I was CEO of Better Health East Bay. Julie and her team worked closely with me, our board, physician, and service line leaders to understand how philanthropy could reshape the delivery of care in our community. We developed a series of blueprints for key services that would create value and impact in our community. Throughout our time together, I was impressed with her deep knowledge of healthcare, easy manner, clear thinking and practical lens when aspiring to improve and change our healthcare system.

Julie has a unique ability to synthesize large amounts of information and identify trends and themes that are drivers for often very complex and long-standing organizational challenges. She then designs elegant approaches and solutions to solve those problems that appreciate their complexity.

Her moral compass points true north at all times and she makes decisions and approaches solving problems with the highest integrity and respect for client and co-worker alike. One of Julie's top strengths is her ability to cultivate and lead high-performing teams. She is clear about her knowledge gaps and surrounds herself with subject matter experts whose knowledge complements her own. Julie seeks out team members with diverse strengths and points of view and encourages each team member to share their knowledge and expertise for the betterment of the group.
