Evaluate operational efficiencies and propose improvements linked to cost, performance, or patient experience. 4. Continuous Improvement & Scaling Identify areas to streamline operational workflows, reduce friction, and elevate the hybrid model experience. Document and refine SOPs to ensure consistency as we open additional clinics.
