What We Are
We are a healthcare research and analytics company with a specific focus on the organization. We serve both healthcare organizations (HCOs) and other stakeholders with a vested interest in the U.S. healthcare system.
Our Mission
To positively influence U.S. healthcare value (quality/cost) by being the leading source of information on healthcare organizations.
Our Stated Aims
1) Leverage Healthcare Data to Maximize Actionable HCO Intelligence
Due in large part to legislation passed over the past 30 years, there is currently more available U.S. provider-specific healthcare data available than ever before. In fact, so much so that the sheer volume of information and total number of sources can be overwhelming to the unitiated. We strive to reduce complexity via cataloging and pre-processing the extant data so that the end result is something almost any potential user will be comfortable with. Where gaps exist in available sources, we create our own, custom data products using methodology that meets or exceeds that used by the Federal Government and the academic literature.
Finally while we are quick to recognize government reporting requirements can be onerous for providers, we also believe that resultant data has the potential to benefit both third-parties and HCOs themselves in a number of ways.
These include, but are not limited to,
- Detailed Benchmarking
- Financial Analysis and Strategy
- Reimbursement Strategy
- Quality Analysis and Improvement
- Market Share and Competitor Analysis
- Market Opportunities and Demographic Change
The process by which we implement this is as follows,
- An ongoing, continuous effort to collect and process all potentially relevant healthcare and healthcare-related data
- Create innovative products all the way down the analysis value chain starting from our curated database offering all the way to highly granular organizational or market-area reports
- Regularly update and refresh product offerings based on first-hand discussion with providers and other valued customers
2) Develop and Deliver Organizational Engagements Tailored to the Individual HCO
Just as no two HCOs are exactly the alike, the same can be said of each organization’s respective problems. For particularly challenging and persistent problems, an off-the-shelf solution may not be sufficient. In these instances, we offer custom engagements with the dual aim of a) collaboratively deriving an effective, lasting solution and b) impart the institutional knowledge and wherewithal to so that new problems can be tackled independently in the future.
- Strategic Planning
- Organizational Development
- Workforce Development and Well-Being
- Leadership Development
Finally, we also use feedback and lessons learned from our organizationally tailored engagements to drive new product development at scale thereby simultaneously helping HCOs solve their problems and realize savings.
