Professional Practice Management Solutions

Our small group recently worked with Shena to help us renegotiate an existing contract, and she was truly top-notch! We were under a time constraint and Shena was incredibly prompt and professional.

The information she provided could be easily understood by all parties involved and helped us come to an agreement where everyone walked away happy. Thank you, Shena!

Scott Healthcare Consulting has been a tremendous asset to our practice during this round of negotiations. We are a physician-owned anesthesia group that has negotiated our own contracts over the years and did well but bringing in Shena for this round was one of the best ideas we had at Columbia Anesthesia Group. Her methodology and framework helped educate us and helped us get big, much-needed improvements in our contracts. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful she was.

Our physician only anesthesia group of forty members had never undertaken the exercise of a strategic planning retreat. I had sat in on numerous presentations by Shena Scott at the ASA Practice Management meetings over the years and thought Shena would be the perfect person to lead our group through this very important exercise. Shena is very responsive, incredibly personable, and professional. Her anesthesia management knowledge and experience are vast and just what we needed to focus our thoughts into a much-needed plan to help move our group in the right direction.

After Shena provided our group with the finished work-product, she has followed up to answer questions and to provide additional resources to help us implement the most pressing parts of our strategic plan. We are also planning to have Shena back for follow up and to help us with additional goals that were identified as priorities by the group.

Shena has been a joy to work with and I look forward to a continued working relationship with her. I highly recommend her services for your anesthesia management needs.

Faced with the financial effects of the No Surprises Act, our private practice recognized we needed outside assistance to assess our current position and to analyze our strategic options. As we looked for referrals (on a national level) the same name kept coming up. Shena performed a detailed analysis of our current staffing commitments as well as our current and anticipated profit and loss. Her expertise, availability and commitment were nothing short of extraordinary.

As we were working through this issue, we realized we also had to address CRNA-related financial concerns. Shena performed a detailed analysis of our current CRNA compensation package. She identified every area in which we both outperformed and underperformed competing groups. Using this information, and with her guidance, we were able to revise our current offer, feeling confident that we were fairly considering the interests of our shareholders and employees.

I enthusiastically add my name to the long list of Shena’s references. She is recommended as an anesthesia practice management consultant with my highest recommendation and without hesitation.

You don’t know what you don’t know. After working with Shena to evaluate and improve all our hospital contracts this year, my eyes have been opened wide, and I wish our practice had hired her a decade ago. Shena’s data focused approach and unmatched knowledge of the anesthesia staffing landscape and OR workflows quickly earn respect from physicians and administrators, making each negotiation’s end point obvious to both parties. Our board extended Shena’s initial scope of work beyond hospital contracts given her quick responsiveness and impressive abilities to tackle a wide range of anesthesia practice management challenges. I strongly urge you to add Shena to your team today — the ROI will be exponential.

Working with Shena Scott has been a smooth and very worthwhile process for our physician group. She helped us understand how our governance structure could improve while guiding us through CEO succession planning strategies. Over the past several months we engaged her expertise, she was timely and made us feel like we were her only client, all while I know she carries a busy load. I would certainly not hesitate to reach out to her again for further needs as they arise.
