Revolutionizing Healthcare
Our team and our programs are focused on improving patient experience and population health while reducing the cost of healthcare with innovation, technology, and metrics.
We aim to revolutionize healthcare through data-driven transformation. As a 501(c)(3), we work with healthcare delivery organizations to help them participate and benefit from government sponsored programs.
Since our division was formed in 2015, we’ve earned more than $120 million in grants from both the federal and state governments
to manage large-scale transformation and interoperability projects designed to help healthcare providers move from fee-for-service models to value-based service and payment models.
At the core, we are an advisory services company that enables innovation, transformation and quality improvement through a variety of consulting and technology solutions, some of which are offered through our for-profit arm launched in 2018 called Healthcare Innovation Solutions.
