PRIVATE HEALTHCARE
& SOCIAL SERVICES

Management & Innovation Experts

The public system cannot accommodate unprecedented demand in healthcare, giving rise to private nursing homes, at-home senior care options, as well as respite for those suffering from mental illness or addictions. While much needed, these organizations are often started by visionaries who do not have a deep understanding of healthcare and its challenges.

BERNARD is a boutique firm of certified and regulated healthcare professionals and management consultants that works alongside these visionaries to provide counsel on:

Healthcare start-ups: With decades of experience in healthcare reorganization and design, and a reputation for innovation and out of the box thinking, BERNARD helps start-up organizations have maximum impact in caring for the sick; individuals struggling with addictions; elderly, their families and caregivers, while attracting and retaining the very best people.

Operational Review: BERNARD works with healthcare leadership teams to review operations to ensure their agility, efficiency and sustainability over the long term.

Clinical Services and Programs Review: BERNARD works with leadership and administrative teams to ensure clinical services and programs are compliant with collective agreements, pertinent legislation, while being efficient and effective.

Leadership & Management Development & Coaching: BERNARD knows the technical skills that are required in healthcare, and the language that inspires excellence – a perfect combination for nurturing and keeping the best and brightest at any organization.

Scheduling and Staffing Review: BERNARD works as leadership and nursing advisors and review and amend scheduling and staffing to increase employee and leader engagement, while decreasing absenteeism.
