Optimize Healthcare

What Optimize Healthcare does

Optimize Healthcare is a Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based executive coaching and consulting firm founded in 2019 by Adrienne Palmer Lloyd, MHA, FACHE, who built the practice on 20+ years of healthcare executive experience at Mayo Clinic and Duke Health. The firm delivers 1:1 executive and business coaching, speaking and facilitation services, and a 6-month intensive team and practice transformation program branded as the Day Zero Blueprint. Its portfolio also includes four self-paced online courses hosted on the Xperiencify platform covering recruitment retention, patient experience, revenue cycle management with Lean and Six Sigma, and workload flow optimization, plus a branded content platform — the Women in Healthcare Podcast. The underlying methodology combines executive coaching frameworks with Lean and Six Sigma principles applied to healthcare operations and revenue cycle.

The firm targets two primary segments: healthcare executives, CEOs, and hospital/health-system leaders, and independent physician practice owners. It addresses leadership burnout, team dysfunction, operational inefficiency, revenue cycle management, and cultural transformation challenges. The go-to-market motion is sales-led (direct outreach to healthcare executives, quote-based engagement scoping, with bookings facilitated through Calendly), supplemented by an event-driven component (speaking and facilitation at healthcare conferences) and a community-led component (the Women in Healthcare Podcast). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; coaching engagements are structured as annual subscriptions and the Day Zero Blueprint program as a multi-year contract, while courses carry separate pricing on Xperiencify. No logos, named customers, ARR, or funding are disclosed.

Optimize Healthcare, LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped US LLC with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries. Direct coaching and speaking distribution is single-country/domestic; the self-paced courses on Xperiencify provide a global self-serve channel. The firm operates with 1-10 employees centered on the founder, and the principal differentiators are its exclusive healthcare vertical focus and the depth of the founder's institutional credentials.
