Services – Systems, Engaged Staff and Evidence Based programs. Ruck-Shockey & Associates (RSA) and the team of Environmental Service (EVS) Consultants have led transformations in single as well as multi-site operations across the country.

We look for opportunities to save money by scheduling for aligned outcomes, vendor consolidations and/or product consolidations, as well as the use of technology to drive best practices. We perform quality assessments and monitor on-going outcomes to drive patient and staff satisfaction.

Our Healthcare System has acquired five free standing facilities over a period of time. Ruck-Shockey Associates, Inc. was a key component in identifying waste and redundancies within our EVS departments, as well as streamlining processes and product.
