About OR Efficiencies

A Team of Specialists Focused on Your Success . . .

OR Efficiencies Company Information

OR Efficiencies, LLC was founded by V. Gerard Ippolito, BA, MBA/MHSA (Jerry Ippolito) after nearly thirty years in healthcare administration with over fifteen years specializing in perioperative services consulting. Prior to Johnson & Johnson's divestment of its healthcare management consulting division, Mr. Ippolito had managed the J&J consulting service lines of anesthesiology program development and surgical program business development since 1996; has focused his career on mediating and developing hospital-medical staff relations since 1978.

During Ippolito's career in healthcare management consulting he has be member of the management teams of D. J. Sullivan & Associates; Johnson & Johnson's healthcare management consulting division and was a founder and president of Surgery Management Improvement Group, Inc.

OR Efficiencies, LLC was established when the firm's founder recognized that in order to be optimally positioned in the discipline of OR-consulting, a firm's services must be differentiated and provide greater value to clients; provide "end-to-end specialized business solutions" with a unique focus on surgery.

A Shared Vision Brings Unique and Specialized Services of Value to Clients

OR Efficiencies' vision is founded on universally shared thoughts of seasoned directors of surgical services, surgeons, anesthesiologists and hospital administrators:

"A hospital's surgical program is the financial engine of the hospital. The operating room is the single hospital unit that relies on all other hospital services. All issues challenging the hospital in general will ultimately impact the effective and efficient function of the OR and challenge program marketability and profitability."

OR Efficiencies was founded on principles of bringing unique and specialized services of value to clients. The firm's founder has determined that most boutique firms, specializing in perioperative services, can identify issues impacting a hospital's surgical program marketability but lack resources to assist with corrective action unless the "fix" rests within the perioperative services discipline and inventory of skills.

Large firms (e.g. big six accounting firms and pharmaceutical companies) have breadth of service offerings and skills but lack specialized focus in the core business of surgery. Typically these large firms also lack focused, and personalized customer service as too often the stockholder, not the hospital (or physician) client, is the end-customer.

Providing "Customized & Comprehensive, End-To-End Business Process Solutions"

OR Efficiencies brings true value and differentiation to clients by providing "customized and comprehensive, end-to-end business process solutions". This end-to-end approach ultimately translates into decreased risk for clients as clients develop and maintain a relationship with one organization (OR Efficiencies, LLC) that screens and hand-picks experts in varied disciplines required to assist in issue resolution and change management. A consortium of multi-disciplinary experts, each with at least a decade of experience in their field, is prepared and available to support each engagement and client's unique challenges.
