Background

About Deanna Larson

Experienced and results-driven Healthcare Project Manager and Consultant with 10+ years leading cross-functional teams through mergers, acquisitions, clinical operations, and EHR implementations. I specialize in healthcare business transitions—whether startups, closures, or M&A—while maintaining compliance, optimizing workflows, and increasing operational efficiency. Known for leading high-impact projects that improve patient care, reduce costs (by up to 35%), and streamline processes across health systems. With a foundation in clinical operations, hands-on emergency medical care, and business management, I bring a unique perspective that bridges front-line patient experience with strategic healthcare leadership. I’ve trained and led large clinical teams, overseen multimillion-dollar operational transitions, and developed performance dashboards to support data-driven decision-making. My core strengths include: • Healthcare M&A and Organizational Transitions • EHR Integration & Staff Training • Client & Vendor Relationship Management • Strategic Project Management (Agile/Waterfall) • Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance (Medicare, Medicaid) • Cross-functional Collaboration with Health Plans and PBMs
