Barbara Swartos Consulting, LLC

When clinical operations are slipping, cost of care is climbing, strategic plans aren’t hitting financial targets, or the leadership seat is empty — you don’t need another slide deck. You need Barbara Swartos in the work.

Fractional and interim executive work for health plans. Business operations and AI that get used.

Barbara Swartos, RN, BSN, MBA, CCM, is President and founder of Barbara Swartos Consulting, LLC alongside Steady Solution Group. As a fractional or interim executive, as well as Advisor for your organization, she steps into health-plan clinical operations when cost of care, utilization, compliance, and leadership have to move together.

Twenty years at the bedside and 20+ in managed care (Accenture, Centene, Blue Cross of Idaho) mean she runs the work: end-to-end clinical ops, cost strategy, regulatory/LEAN change, and teams that hold.

She also helps small and mid-size businesses tighten operations and put AI to work (understand → implement → execute). Separately, she delivers her signature talk Unleash the Fearless Leader in You and is a contributor to the book Lead Like a Woman.

If you need operations that hold, a leadership seat filled, or a next chapter that uses what you’ve already built — message Barbara.
