- Controlling wage inflation and sustaining RCM efficiency.
- Deploying post-restructuring cash for M&A or buybacks.

Question #1
Does Ordan’s focus on transformative deal-making come at the expense of the granular, operational oversight required to manage complex systems and prevent failures like the RCM collapse?
