Dynamics Research Corporation's healthcare practice has long been at the forefront of providing clinical expertise and IT solutions to ensure our nation's service members receive the best possible medical care. Over the last two years, a new approach, known as 'clinical consulting', has emerged, which seeks practitioners who combine the medical expertise of a physician with the problem solving skills of a consultant. Dr. Andrew Ritcheson, Senior Program Manager and Consulting Psychologist of DRC's Federal Group, has pioneered this new frontier, and it's already paying dividends—leading to a growth rate of more than 100 percent in the practice over the last two years. Not bad at a time when many companies are still recovering from the throes of the Great Recession. Ritcheson sat down recently with Consulting One on One to discuss the firm's growth and the overall state of the healthcare market.
