Service Offerings:
Managed Care – We advise clients on strategy and infrastructure, provide best practice benchmarking, analyze contract language, and develop pre-negotiation and negotiation guide tools. Our technology driven solutions deliver rate impact analysis, contract language review, and infrastructure / technology readiness assessments. Our tailored implementation plans are designed to increase near term net patient revenue while optimizing client’s long term managed care strategies.
Post-Acute Care Alignment – Post-acute care constitutes the diverse array of follow-up healthcare services to patients after the acute in-patient encounter. As the healthcare industry moves towards a more integrated delivery model (e.g. ACOs, bundled payments, etc.), creating a dynamic and collaborative care continuum will become more and more valuable to both patients and healthcare providers. Developing and refining these relationships across the patient care continuum can help deliver 1) improved population health; 2) a better patient experience; and 3) reduce healthcare costs.
Strategy Development & Execution – We utilize a real-world approach coupled with innovative technology (powered by onFocus™) to develop, assess and implement strategic options. We not only create, but also implement detailed execution plans cascading throughout the organization with metrics, KPI’s and accountability corresponding with illuminating Strategy Maps designed to facilitate successful execution.
