Operational excellence for modern healthcare.

I help hospitals, clinics and healthcare startups improve clinical outcomes, streamline operations, and adopt the right technology — without the overhead of a global consulting firm.

How I work

No big-firm deck. I run small, senior engagements — usually solo, occasionally with one specialist — and I spend most of my time on your floors, not in your boardroom.

Practice areas

Six things I'm asked to do most often.

Every engagement is scoped against a specific outcome and a fixed price. Pick one — or talk to me about something that doesn't fit into a tidy box.

Hospital Operations Audit

A 30-day deep-dive into throughput, ALOS, OT utilisation and IPD/OPD flow — with a costed action plan you can start executing on day 31.

NABH / NABL Accreditation Prep

End-to-end accreditation readiness — gap analysis, document architecture, staff training and mock audits — built around your existing workflows, not a generic template.

HIS / EMR Selection & Implementation

Independent vendor selection and implementation oversight for Hospital Information Systems and EMRs — without conflict of interest from any vendor.

Patient Experience Transformation

Shorten wait times, fix the communication breakdowns that drive complaints, and raise NPS — using interventions that don't require new software or new hires.

Digital Health & Telemedicine Strategy

From "we should do telemedicine" to a working remote-care service line — vendor selection, clinical protocols, reimbursement design and adoption.

Engagement model

Senior advisory without the big-firm overhead.

Most healthcare consulting is structured around billable hours and pyramid teams. Mine isn't. You get one experienced operator — the same one through discovery, delivery and hand-off. Engagements are scoped against outcomes, not days on site, so the incentives align with yours.

  • Direct access to me from day one — no analyst layer
  • Fixed-scope, fixed-price proposals; no scope drift
  • Mostly on-site work; remote where it genuinely helps
  • Vendor-neutral — I take no kickbacks from any HIS, EMR or device supplier
  • Clean hand-off: your team owns the documents and KPIs after I leave
1
Discovery
A 30-minute conversation, no slides. I listen for what the data says you should fix vs. what your team feels you should fix — they're rarely the same.
2
Scope
One-page proposal within a week — fixed price, fixed scope, named deliverables. If you say no, the page is yours to keep.
3
On the floor
I work from your facility, not a hotel. The fastest way to improve a hospital is to walk every department for a week before recommending anything.
4
Hand-off
I leave behind documents your team owns and KPIs they watch. The engagement ends when the changes are sticking — not when the invoice clears.
In their words

What hospital leaders say after the engagement.

"We'd tried two consulting firms before. Vishal was the first who didn't show up with a deck and a list of "best practices." He spent four days walking the floors, talked to the housekeeping staff before the doctors, and came back with a plan that the team actually wanted to execute."

Dr. Anita Rao
Medical Director · Sunshine Multispeciality Hospital
"I came to him with the standard founder question — "should we build or buy our EMR?" — and he refused to answer until we'd sat down with the clinical team for half a day. By the end I realised we'd been about to build the wrong thing entirely. Saved us at least 18 months."
DM
Dr. Meera Iyer
Founder · Vaayu Health (digital primary care)
"Our NABH 6th-edition prep was looking at a year of slow grind. Vishal cut it to seven months without skipping anything. The mock audits were brutal in exactly the right way — by the time the formal assessor came, we knew where every gap was and had closed it."
RP
Rohan Patel
Chief Operating Officer · MedFirst Hospital Chain
"The patient experience work was the highest-ROI engagement we've done in five years. Our OPD wait time fell from 47 minutes to 22, complaint volume halved, and we didn't add a single person to the staff. He pushed back on every "we need new software" instinct we had."
