Focused on using data
to help people
and drive progress
Our focus is primarily process and quality improvement in EDs, EMS, and both organizational and regional time-critical diagnosis (STEMI, stroke, and trauma) systems of care. Our consultants also specialize in professional development and training systems. We offer customized consultation services that identify barriers and optimize performance.
​
Our consultants can help your business by providing a unique, outside perspective; offering the dedication and bandwidth needed for these projects; and by sharing our vast breadth of experience as well as both soft and hard technical skills. Results can be substantial in business growth, recovery of missed patient revenue, and decreased HR costs stemming from improved staff satisfaction and retention.
Why choose us?
Experience
We've worked in and with hospitals from California to Maine; in disaster tents, rural critical access facilities, and tertiary academic centers; and at the bedside, in IT, management, and education.
Authenticity
We're real people with real experiences. We offer perspective as patients, frontline staff, and administrators. We're committed to finding genuine solutions, even if they aren't easy.
Empathy
Each facility and project is different. We want to truly understand your community, your successes, your challenges, your consulting needs, and your overarching goals. Success starts with understanding.
Knowledge
We're well-educated and keep up on the latest trends in clinical medicine, education, informatics, and management. We are technically skilled in data analysis, people management, and much more.
Integration
Unlike some consulting agencies, we do not offer interim staffing solutions. Our goal is not to take-over, but to implement long-term, sustainable solutions and coach your staff to meaningful success.
Agility
We're nimble. Small enough to respond quickly and tackle challenges in a streamlined and cost-efficient manner, but with the option to grow our team of experts for larger projects.
