AESTHETIC / CREATED BY DR. LAURA PURDY, MD, MBA

For practice owners & operators

When the practice grows, the standard has to grow with it.

Aesthetic helps owners and operators define governance, delegation, documentation, consent, and physician oversight before growth makes weak handoffs harder to see and more expensive to correct.

The risk

When rules remain implicit, leadership becomes the universal escalation pathway and every expansion multiplies the dependency.

Here’s the standard

Make the minimum explicit, assign the decision rights, and build a review rhythm before adding complexity.

The leadership burden

If the system is unclear, leadership becomes the safety net.

Documentation changes by provider
Delegation is difficult to explain on paper
Medical directorship exists without a steady governance cadence
Training depends on who is available
Clinical-quality review begins only when someone becomes concerned
Expansion is planned before standards are portable

What we build

A standards layer the team can run.

Clinical standards

Minimums, red flags, escalation, consent, and documentation expectations.

Delegation rails

Role, risk, supervision, availability, exception handling, and proof.

Governance rhythm

Medical director, leadership, chart review, and corrective-action cadence.

CPOM-aware operations

Educational structure and counsel-ready questions for non-physician ownership contexts.

What changes

The clinic relies less on memory and individual heroics.

Fewer gray-zone decisions
More consistent records
Clearer clinical and operational handoffs
Faster onboarding
Routine quality review
Growth that does not depend on one leader answering every question

Built by a physician-operator

Built from experience on both sides of the business.

Every Aesthetic framework reflects Dr. Purdy's experience carrying clinical responsibility while building and leading healthcare operations.

The Aesthetic operating standard

The policy is only one part of the operating system.

The clinic also needs a decision owner, a working process, evidence that the process was followed, and a regular review date.

Name the risk

When rules remain implicit, leadership becomes the universal escalation pathway and every expansion multiplies the dependency.

Set the standard

Make the minimum explicit, assign the decision rights, and build a review rhythm before adding complexity.

Assign the owner

Name who decides, who performs, who supervises, who reviews, and who receives the escalation.

Build the workflow

Place the standard inside intake, scheduling, documentation, consent, training, handoffs, and daily operations.

Keep the evidence

Retain the record that shows the decision, delegation, review, exception, and corrective action actually occurred.

Review the system

Set a re-audit date, track drift, update the standard, and close the loop with the team carrying the work.

The audit trail

The record should tell the story.

A reviewer should be able to see which standard applied, who made the decision, what happened next, and whether the issue was closed.

Decision rights

The system must answer:

Who has authority?
What is the minimum?
What stops the workflow?
Where does the question escalate?

Evidence

The record must show:

Which standard applied
Who completed and reviewed the work
How an exception was handled
When the system will be reviewed again

Created by Dr. Laura Purdy, MD, MBA

Clinical responsibility belongs inside the business model.

Dr. Purdy built Aesthetic so founders can address the clinical and operating work together, with qualified questions, defined roles, and support through implementation.
