Recognize the situation?

A few reasons to call.

Illustrative situations, not descriptions of actual client engagements.

“Our board gets reports. Are we asking the right questions?”

Review committee responsibilities, reporting, and escalation so oversight leads to informed decisions and follow-through.

Board & committee support ↗

“We need a second set of eyes on this agreement.”

Understand the commercial and legal tradeoffs, negotiate the terms, and decide which risks the business can accept.

Contracts & legal advice ↗

“We’re expanding into a new state. What changes for corporate practice of medicine, licensing, and telehealth?”

Evaluate the proposed care model, ownership arrangements, clinician locations, and services to identify legal requirements and operational changes before launch.

Healthcare expansion advice ↗

“As we expand our use of AI, how do we establish the right policies and governance?”

Establish how AI tools are evaluated, approved, used, and monitored, with responsibilities and safeguards matched to each use.

AI policies & governance ↗

A business perspective

Understand the risk.
Consider the opportunity.

Good decisions depend on reliable information and an organization that knows how to use it. OATB helps leaders connect data, business objectives, and acceptable risk, while addressing the culture, incentives, and responsibilities that shape how decisions are made and carried out.

That work can mean testing the assumptions behind a new service, clarifying who has authority to act, or examining why important concerns are not reaching leadership.
