Achieve your strategic goals with an actionable plan focused on how you define success

Enterprise strategic planning

Develop an enterprise-level strategic plan that is implementable, affordable and sustainable by developing solutions that understand healthcare’s new reality:
  • Care is a function, not a place.
  • You are not short-staffed. This is your new staffing normal.
  • New clinical innovations will impact how and where care is delivered.
  • Ignore equity at your own peril.
  • There’s not enough money to pay for everything.

Systems must be deliberate in balancing the blocking and tackling of today with a strategic plan that optimizes their position well into the future.

Service line planning

Service lines are a growing focus for health systems. Our team offers expertise in establishing governance, developing strategic plans and guiding growth strategies. We can help with centers of excellence, partnership models, service distribution and network integrity across hospitals, enhancing both planning and operational execution.

The combination of a strain on workforce and the rising acuity of patients is creating a perfect storm for healthcare systems.

Care delivery transformation

To develop a roadmap that evolves your future care delivery, you must first understand how your operational, workforce, culture and digital strategies impact your current care delivery model. Our practical, evidence-based solutions decrease care delivery variations, identify shifts in care sites, enhance quality, and improve access while supporting margin improvement.

Evaluate new market disruptors as a potential partner as well as a potential competitor.

Campus planning

Ensuring your long-term sustainability requires competing with the health system next door along with new, nontraditional market disrupters for the business of convenience-seeking and price-sensitive consumers. Adopt an approach that focuses on care as a function rather than a place to overcome today’s realities and prepare for a healthcare landscape that embraces omnichannel healthcare delivery models.

Campus plans that solely focus on the buildings miss the point that our facilities need to function in concert with our strategy, operations and digital solutions as well as our workforce and experiential goals.
