Kathy Scott Ph.D.

Kathy A. Scott, PhD is President and Chief Executive Officer of a firm she established in 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona. Her name-sake firm specializes in healthcare working with executives and teams to transform traditional leadership, clinical and business models to alternatives that will thrive in a highly competitive environment. She also is Co-Founder and Partner of L3 Fusion LLC, a boutique firm that helps individuals and teams maneuver through the organizational chaos to find their path to healthy living, leading and learning by way of science, experience and humor (albeit irreverent).

Dr. Scott holds a PhD in Healthcare Administration and Organizational Systems, a master’s degree in Public Healthcare Administration and a bachelor’s degree in Nursing; and is a former long-term Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE). Her doctoral research served as the science behind “Stupid Gone Viral.” Her expertise was gained through multiple chief executive roles (nursing, operations, innovation, integration) in several medium and large healthcare systems. Kathy is a recognized expert in transforming organizations to achieve high reliability structures and processes. She is also a noted speaker and author on contemporary leadership, large-scale organizational change, clinical transformation and patient safety. She does all this with a flair for engaging her audiences with candor and a sense of humor.
