Surgical Solutions Launches Perioperative Consulting Services for Hospitals and ASCs

When a Hospital Needs Expert Help, Not Another Long-Term Contract

Not every operational problem in a hospital or ASC needs a full-time embedded team. Sometimes what's needed is a focused set of expert eyes on one specific issue, then a clear path forward.

Surgical Solutions launched Consulting Services this month to fill exactly that gap. The offering gives hospital and ASC leaders vendor-neutral, project-based expertise for a defined initiative, without the commitment of a long-term onsite engagement.

Consulting is one of three ways hospitals and ASCs can work with Surgical Solutions, alongside Short-Term Stabilization Projects and Long-Term Partnership Projects. Where those two options involve an onsite footprint, Consulting delivers targeted expert guidance for a specific initiative, without embedding a team on-site.

The Problem Consulting Services Solve

Hospital and ASC leaders often already know where a problem lives. A department might need help selecting new endoscopy technology, preparing for a Joint Commission or DNV survey, or building a leadership development plan for supervisors moving into management. What's usually missing isn't awareness of the problem. It's bandwidth to focus on it, or an outside perspective from someone who has solved the same issue before.

"Every hospital we work with is under pressure to do more with less, and that pressure does not always come with the runway for a long engagement," said Kirk Leonardelli, CEO of Surgical Solutions. "Consulting gives healthcare facilities a way to get expert, vendor-neutral guidance built to address the problems they are facing."

How a Consulting Engagement Works

Every engagement starts with an onsite assessment. The Surgical Solutions team evaluates workflow, labor, compliance posture, and the relationships between departments that depend on one another to function well, such as sterile processing, endoscopy, and the OR.

From there, the team delivers a prioritized roadmap ranked by urgency and impact, not a lengthy report that sits unused. Facilities leave the engagement with specific next steps, not just findings.

"Hospitals and ASCs rarely have the luxury of a slow fix. A late first case, a compliance finding or a labor gap in sterile processing does not wait for a quarterly planning cycle," said Elizabeth "Betty" Casey, MSN, RN, CNOR, CRCST, CHL, Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations at Surgical Solutions. "This offering puts experienced hands on the floor quickly, with a clear plan the department can act on right away, and our support the entire time."

Why Vendor Neutrality Matters

Surgical Solutions has no product or platform to sell. Recommendations come from department need, not a sales agenda. The company also covers sterile processing, endoscopy and the OR together, rather than specializing in only one side of the perioperative relationship, a common limitation among consulting firms in this space.
