Timing can be everything. And while it's certainly not the only reason Divurgent is successful, timing plays a big part of it. In 2007, Colin Konschak launched an IT healthcare firm with one stated goal: "To transform healthcare to our clients and the communities they serve."
But the timing of the launch wasn't purely coincidental, it was a conscious and well-thought-out strategy. "That was in 2007 and it was sort of the beginning of what we're in the middle of right now, which is the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system," says Konschak, a Managing Partner at the firm. "At that time, we knew we were at a crossroads; we knew that healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP was completely untenable and that it was going to break the back of the country if we didn't transform the way that we delivered care."
"We knew full-well that this wasn't going to the Clinton-era transformation that was talked about in the 1990s, this was going to be much greater reform, and that's exactly what we got. It actually started with the Bush Administration and then took off in the Obama Administration."
