As the healthcare industry continues to transition from a fee-for-service to a fee-for-value model, each healthcare system continues to seek to recognize its own "tipping point." And each healthcare organization finds itself in a unique position, providing significant opportunities for consulting firms—with boutiques thriving.
As KCRA's team recently discovered in their latest research: Consulting to Healthcare Payers and Providers 2015: Alternative Care Models, the bottom line for consultancies is that every client situation is different; local knowledge is important and each market will demand different attention. The adage "when you've seen one market, you've seen one market" holds true here, and consultants are living it. Boutique consulting firms with local and care provider expertise bring unique perspective during this period of innovation.
