Assess Results Fanatic Readiness

A short assessment to determine whether Results Fanatic discipline is the right fit for your hospital.

Results Fanatic discipline is not a methodology and it is not a program. It is a standard for how decisions are made, how quickly leaders act, and how seriously results are taken, especially when pressure is real.

This assessment is designed to determine fit. It is not a sales form. Not every hospital needs this approach, and not every leadership team is ready for it. The questions below focus on urgency, decision-making, and financial discipline. Honest answers matter more than polished ones.

If there is a strong fit, we will follow up to discuss next steps. If not, you will still leave with clarity.

This assessment is appropriate if:

  • Cash visibility matters week to week

  • Decisions feel delayed or harder than they should

  • Financial pressure is real—or coming

  • You want more discipline, not more reports

This is not a fit if:

  • Results can wait

  • Financials are treated as hindsight

  • Speed and accountability are not priorities


Assessment Questions

This is a short assessment made up of four sections and approximately ten questions. It should take only a few minutes to complete.

Please answer as directly as possible. There are no right answers—the goal is to understand your current reality so we can assess fit.
