Jason brings practical leadership to healthcare organizations and clinical-technology teams—connecting patient access, frontline workflow, diagnostic operations, physiologic data, systems integration, performance, and regulatory readiness.
Current focus: full-time regional or enterprise healthcare and clinical-technology leadership, with a limited number of defined advisory or interim assignments.
Jason Metcalfe, M.S. · Healthcare Operations & Clinical Technology Leader
One connected leadership perspective
Metcalfe Advisory presents Jason Metcalfe’s healthcare operating experience and a limited portfolio of independent work in clinical technology, validation, and implementation.
Jason is the former Director of Operations, Sleep Center at Boston Children’s Hospital and former owner-operator of Mountain Star Sleep Diagnostics, where he achieved Joint Commission and AASM accreditation in 2012. His multi-state experience spans Texas, Massachusetts, and California, along with physiologic-sensor validation, ECG-derived measurements, API-enabled acquisition, analytical workflows, and the translation of novel technology into clinical use.
Healthcare operating scope
Operations improve when access, people, workflow, reimbursement, technology, and regulatory requirements are managed as one system.
Intake, referral flow, scheduling, capacity, and the handoffs that shape the patient experience.
Staffing, workflows, service-line execution, multi-site consistency, and accountable daily management.
CPT-related documentation, billing workflow, reimbursement coordination, collections oversight, and performance visibility.
Sleep and diagnostic services, CPAP and oxygen DME, payer relationships, reimbursement workflows, and technology-enabled care.
HIPAA, accreditation, documentation, operating controls, and practical preparation for external review—grounded in Joint Commission and AASM accreditation experience.
KPIs, decision rhythms, forecasts, and management tools that make priorities and results visible.
Selected advisory & interim work
Jason accepts a limited number of clearly scoped assignments with defined objectives, measures, and end points.
A focused review of patient access, scheduling, staffing, frontline workflow, performance measures, revenue-cycle coordination, and accreditation-readiness gaps.
A practical plan that converts the operating diagnosis into sequenced priorities, accountable owners, useful measures, and an executable management cadence.
Defined senior operating support for stabilization, transition, service-line improvement, multi-site execution, or the implementation of a critical initiative.
Defined support for proof-of-concept design, validation requirements, test protocols, acceptance criteria, signal and data integrity, and cross-functional execution.
Clinical workflow mapping, API and data-flow requirements, implementation planning, technical handoffs, and operating readiness for diagnostic and digital-health technologies.
Clinical technology & engineering operations
Metcalfe Advisory supports diagnostic and digital-health teams where clinical requirements, experimental systems, physiologic data, product development, and healthcare operations must work together.
Physiologic-signal acquisition, signal-quality assessment, artifact review, timestamp integrity, derived measures, and clinically meaningful acceptance criteria.
Experimental test environments, validation protocols, instrumentation, repeatable workflows, success measures, and technical troubleshooting.
API-enabled acquisition, multi-stream data alignment, data-flow mapping, analytical workflows, and translation between technical and clinical teams.
Clinical requirements, workflow design, implementation planning, training, documentation, and coordination across product, engineering, quality, regulatory, and operating teams.
Representative work
Snooze LabsDesigned and integrated experimental test benches for novel textile-based physiologic sensors. Built and tested acquisition and analytical workflows spanning ECG signal collection, API-enabled data transfer, timestamp synchronization, multi-stream alignment, signal-quality review, and transformation of raw ECG into derived measures including heart-rate variability.
Supported evaluation of physiologic features and signal signatures for sleep-state classification, and established testing environments and methods used by doctoral researchers who advanced the work through subsequent publication.
For regulated products, Metcalfe Advisory supports validation planning, evidence generation, technical documentation, workflow design, integration readiness, and implementation in coordination with the manufacturer’s engineering, quality, clinical, and regulatory teams. Regulatory strategy and submissions remain with the product sponsor and appropriately qualified specialists.
Selected operating evidence
The strongest operating claims are the ones that can be tied to a documented result, an accountable role, or an organization built and run directly.
≈900
additional annual study capacity
A Sleep Center workflow redesign created capacity for approximately 900 additional studies annually.
32
cumulative employees, 2010–2015
Built and operated Mountain Star Sleep Diagnostics with approximately 32 employees across the company’s operating life.
2012
Joint Commission & AASM accreditation
Achieved Joint Commission Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation and AASM sleep-center accreditation for a Texas diagnostic operation in 2012.
Proven across three distinct healthcare markets: owner-operator and hospital leadership in Texas, academic medical center operations in Massachusetts, and diagnostic workflow leadership in California. Mountain Star also established a TRICARE contract and operated CPAP and oxygen DME services alongside CPT-related documentation, HIPAA, billing, collections, and reimbursement workflows.
The operating approach
Begin with the reality of people, incentives, patient flow, technology, financial signals, and risk.
Reduce complexity to the few decisions and actions most likely to improve the operating result.
Leave clear ownership, useful measures, and a management rhythm the team can continue to run.
Executive experience
More than 15 years across academic medical centers, hospital systems, diagnostic services, DME, virtual care, physiologic sensing, and independent operating and technical work.
Boston Children’s Hospital
Led patient access, scheduling, staffing, workflow, budgets, reimbursement coordination, regulatory readiness, and clinical-administrative operations for a complex academic medical center service line.
Stanford Sleep Center
Redesigned operating workflows to improve utilization and create capacity for approximately 900 additional studies each year.
Mountain Star Sleep Diagnostics LLC (dba Mountain View Sleep Diagnostics)
Owned staffing, physician referrals, payer and vendor relationships, financial performance, CPT and HIPAA workflows, billing and collections oversight, CPAP and oxygen DME, and a TRICARE contract. Following the company’s sale in 2014, Jason remained responsible for operations through 2015.
Texoma Medical Center
Managed sleep-laboratory operations within a hospital environment, connecting clinical service delivery with staffing, workflow, quality, and organizational requirements.
Snooze Labs
Designed experimental validation systems for novel physiologic sensors and worked across ECG acquisition, signal and timestamp integrity, derived measurements, analytical workflows, and clinical translation in sleep technology research.
