Behavioral Health Post-Acquisition Integration

Day One: Stabilize, Don't Rebrand

Immediate priorities are license protection, census continuity, and key staff retention — not rolling out parent-company policies that trigger turnover.

100-Day Integration Priorities

Pacific Viking structures integration around operational truth — not slide decks.

• Leadership roles and decision rights clarified in writing
• KPI dashboard harmonized — same metrics, comparable definitions
• UR and billing workflow gap analysis
• Compliance calendar and incident systems aligned
• Admissions and referral communication plan

Clinical & Documentation Standardization

Standardize where it reduces denial and survey risk; preserve local clinical judgment where state rules require differentiation.

Revenue Cycle Integration

Payer contracts, credentialing, and authorization workflows often determine whether acquisition economics work. Integrate revenue cycle before scaling marketing across the platform.
