Health care payers and providers are working to transition from fee-for-service to new value-based models, which is upending ... traditional patient care and business operations. Working on behalf of clients in the public and private sectors, we analyze and evaluate issues and opportunities that could reduce costs and improve quality and outcomes. Our greatest value to clients is providing specific industry knowledge and greater understanding so that health care payers and providers can make better decisions. We deliver methodologically rigorous, objective evidence that translates into practical solutions–all in service of supporting health care business leaders and clinicians in improving health care. We focus on diverse areas, including health information technology, health care policy, value-based payment strategies, health care quality, population health, and health care process and outcome measurement.

We also help them extract meaning from existing information and data. This leads to better decision-making and better performance, which can help clients maximize their potential to achieve the triple aim. read more
