Healthcare IT Consultant

Healthcare IT Consulting Experts
Healthcare is a critical component of our society and economy, and one that is changing fast due to innovation and standardization of technology. Governments have mandated capabilities and established standards, requiring healthcare organizations to comply or face stiff financial penalties.
Our consultants are well-versed in the technology trends impacting health & wellness companies, and have experience leading IT for many organizations in many sectors across the industry, as listed below. They have vetted platforms in the real world and know which 3rd party systems make the most sense for an organization.
Many consulting firms believe that what works well in another industry will work just as well in healthcare tech consulting, and try to assign consultants to medical IT projects with no previous experience.
Our experts know where “general best practices” work well vs. where there are real nuances which must be taken into account by healthcare tech consultants, such as the critical importance of privacy of health records, and the growing importance of virtual/mobile technology for delivery medical care.

Healthcare Leaders First - Then Healthcare Tech Consultants
Our Unique Approach to Healthcare IT Consulting
Like a lot of consulting practices, we help clients stabilize their IT platforms, secure their networks, and optimize their architecture, service levels and tech budget.
Unlike a lot of consulting firms, we build trust first and align our strategy to your overall strategy before taking these steps. The “right” approach to healthcare tech consulting very much depends on your positioning, objectives, and culture. Is low-cost a competitive advantage or can tech capabilities pay off with a huge ROI in automation and efficiency?
Also unlike a lot of consulting firms, we help clients Innovate Beyond Efficiency by identifying ways to monetize tech and data to create new revenue streams and/or accelerate your existing business model’s top line.
This will look different in medical tech than in other verticals, and different in each of the health sub-sectors listed above, but our healthcare tech consultants often find ways to either increase sales frequency, shorten the sales cycle, or create a capability which wins market-share from competitors who can’t match it. Let’s work together to reveal what a Vista of Innovation can look like for your organization.
