Octave helps hospital and health system executive leaders and governing boards identify, prioritize, and mitigate the challenges of strategy, growth, compliance, succession planning and access to capital.

For hospitals facing immediate challenges, we specialize in turnaround services, including access to capital, rapid savings opportunities, and advisory services. Our experts bring deep expertise and access to alternative models, and when necessary, lead organizations through restructuring to achieve ongoing viability.

Octave Leadership Advisory helps governing boards and leadership teams set organizational strategy, and focus on world-class clinical service and patient experience while staying true to the constant pursuit of a strong cornerstone for governance and leadership.

In working with Octave, Springfield Hospital in Vermont went from having one day of cash on hand to over 40 days cash and $18 million in net income.

For a small Midwestern hospital, Octave identified a false claims issue due to incorrect coding and billing and worked with the hospital to return the excess funds.
