Translate Insight Into Action

Combining a nuanced understanding of the issues facing healthcare organizations with a philosophy that emphasizes meaningful action, we’ll develop a plan that prioritizes your best interests and strengthens your bottom line. Our healthcare consulting solutions fall into four categories:

Strategy & Planning – From strategic planning to market assessments to governance structure reviews, our consultants can develop a strategy for achieving your goals along with actionable steps to make it a reality. We do it with the changing dynamics of the healthcare industry in mind to give you a competitive advantage.

Financial Operations – Between changing reimbursement rates, evolving regulations, and new partnership models, healthcare providers are facing increased financial pressure. Our goal is to help provide relief. Whether it’s helping structure and implement co-management arrangements, designing and implementing physician compensation plans that achieve organizational objectives, or ensuring those arrangements are compliant with the fair market value, we have the financial expertise your organization needs.

Ambulatory Operations – Our consultants can help your organization improve its ambulatory care and physician enterprise. That may mean conducting a revenue cycle assessment, leading a lean transformation process, overseeing an operational excellence project, or benchmarking your performance to find areas of opportunity. In every case, we leverage insight to drive needle-moving action.

Mergers & Acquisitions – If you’re considering a transaction, a team of experienced advisors isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Our team can help you navigate healthcare M&A complexities to ensure you have a complete financial picture, are aware of the risks, and are well-positioned to make the most of every transactional opportunity. We work across the entire transaction lifecycle – from pre-transaction to post-deal integration. We can help with capturing opportunities, designing and structuring transactions, conducting financial due diligence, assisting with mergers and consolidations, finding transactional synergies, and more.
