Clarify the problem, identify clinical and operational risks, and establish priorities based on the organization's current reality.
Meritus Advisory Group works with high-pressure organizations and leadership teams — defense, aviation, transportation, financial services, energy, and healthcare systems — to protect decision quality and surface behavioral risk before it becomes operational risk.
We apply physician-level clinical judgment and operational experience to leadership risk, decision-making, and behavioral health challenges in high-pressure environments.
Our work follows a structured, execution-focused approach:
Clarify the problem, identify clinical and operational risks, and establish priorities based on the organization's current reality.
Develop a practical service model, leadership structure, workflows, and implementation priorities aligned with organizational goals.
Support execution through direct advisory, stakeholder alignment, and structured rollout of changes.
Ensure sustainability through ongoing oversight, performance monitoring, and protection against regression or emerging risk.
Physician-led assessment of burnout risk, cognitive overload, substance-related risk, and behavioral factors that may impact leadership performance and organizational stability.
Led by a former Chair of Psychiatry, Vice President of Medical Staff, and Brigade Psychiatrist with experience managing provider health and impairment cases in collaboration with Physician Health Services (PHS).
