Program recovery
Get-to-green structure for work that is drifting or overloaded.
Hospitals
Focused support for hospital work under delivery pressure.
Epic, EHR, readiness, optimization, governance, and clinical technology work need clear ownership while the organization is still moving.

Selected Movement
Relevant healthcare work, stated plainly.
Examples include Epic recovery, Refuel, Honor Roll, readiness, governance, and cross-functional delivery.
- Led get-to-green recovery planning across at-risk Epic workstreams for ChristianaCare and translated off-track work into critical-path actions and leadership decisions.
- Established governance for 20 integrated workstreams within a Cedars-Sinai hospital construction program and clarified Honor Roll readiness risks and decisions.
- Overhauled the quarterly Epic upgrade program at Onvida for 40+ team members and directed Honor Roll work while aligning Refuel priorities with available capacity.
- Directed a Reid Refuel turnaround involving 40+ analysts, leads, and managers, clearing 25% of a 600+ item backlog in 3 months.
Fit
Built for the middle of complex delivery.
- CIOs, CMIOs, CNIOs, and executive sponsors
- PMO and transformation leaders
- Clinical and operational leaders carrying major change
- Application, informatics, and program leaders who need clearer structure
- Teams managing Epic, EHR, or cross-functional operational delivery under real constraints
Hospital Support
Where Ronin helps
Epic / EHR optimization
Backlog, Refuel, upgrade, and improvement work with clearer ownership.
Operational readiness
Milestone, testing, cutover, go-live, and stabilization discipline.
Governance clarity
Decision forums that resolve, not just report.
Clinical technology implementation
Workflow, device, vendor, IT, and frontline alignment.
Operational Readiness
Readiness is easier to trust when governance is close to the work.
Ronin helps connect executive decisions, IT delivery, and clinical operations so risk is visible before it becomes a late surprise.
Operating Friction
Where the work gets stuck
The program is moving, but not cleanly
Teams are busy, dependencies are multiplying, and risk is hard to see.
Readiness is hard to trust
Milestones are close, but confidence is uneven.
Optimization is too broad
There is no shortage of ideas. The problem is deciding what moves.
Governance is not moving decisions
Issues sit in the middle. Decisions wait. Teams need resolution paths.
Clinical, operational, and IT alignment is thin
The work crosses boundaries. Ownership and adoption risk have to cross them too.
Leadership needs a focused operator
Someone has to organize ambiguity and turn it into decisions.
Governance Model
Executives, IT, and clinical operations need one operating picture.
Ronin helps connect decisions to delivery realities so governance becomes useful instead of ceremonial.
Executives
Set tradeoffs, sponsor decisions, remove blockers.
IT
Own system delivery, dependencies, and technical risk.
Clinical Operations
Anchor workflow reality, readiness, and adoption.
Ronin connects the forum, the decision, the owner, and the operational consequence.
Clinical / IT Alignment
Technology change has to survive contact with workflow reality.
Clinical technology, workflow, vendors, devices, and EHR dependencies need an operating model that keeps adoption risk visible.

Delivery Examples
Selected delivery examples
Selected Delivery Example
Epic readiness recovery for a large health system
Context: Enterprise Epic program nearing integrated testing, go-live readiness, and executive review milestones.
Problem: Several workstreams were at risk, blockers were hard to compare, and leaders needed a usable recovery view.
Ronin role: Built get-to-green structure across at-risk Epic workstreams and translated delivery drift into critical-path actions and leadership decisions.
Result / movement: Sponsors and delivery teams had a clearer view of readiness risk, blocker ownership, and the decisions needed to keep the program moving.
Why it mattered: The work shifted from scattered status to an operating picture leaders could use before readiness risk became a late surprise.
Selected Delivery Example
Refuel turnaround and Epic backlog discipline
Context: Regional health system managing Refuel and Epic optimization work across 40+ analysts, leads, and managers.
Problem: A 600+ item backlog needed stronger prioritization, clearer decision paths, and a delivery rhythm the team could sustain.
Ronin role: Reset delivery around metrics, governance, sprint execution, intake discipline, and explicit backlog decisions.
Result / movement: A 600+ item backlog started moving, with 25% cleared in 3 months.
Why it mattered: Optimization became governed work with visible tradeoffs instead of a request pile competing for the same capacity.
Selected Delivery Example
Upgrade, Gold Stars, Honor Roll, and optimization operating model
Context: Community health system balancing Epic upgrades, Gold Stars, Honor Roll, Refuel, and optimization priorities.
Problem: Competing priorities were drawing from the same teams, and capacity tradeoffs were not visible enough for leaders.
Ronin role: Reworked cadence, governance, communication, and priority framing so upgrade, recognition, and optimization work could be judged together.
Result / movement: Executives and team leads had clearer tradeoffs across upgrade, Gold Stars, Honor Roll, and optimization work.
Why it mattered: Leaders could make decisions against real delivery capacity instead of treating each initiative as if it stood alone.
Health-System Point Of View
How Ronin thinks about health-system work
The useful work is making risk, ownership, readiness, and decisions clearer while the organization is still moving.
Readiness is not just a checklist.
Optimization is not just a backlog.
Governance is only useful when it helps leaders make better decisions.
