The 2018 Seven Small Jewels: Avelead

Anytime a consulting firm grows 138 percent in one year, people are going to notice. Anytime that firm doubles down on that growth by forecasting essentially the same for the following year—more than doubling headcount and more than doubling revenue—people are going to do more than notice. They’re going to start paying attention.

And people are paying attention to Avelead, an Atlanta-based firm that helps implement Revenue Cycle and EMR systems for hospital acute and ambulatory health systems. John Goforth, Senior Director, has spent more than 15 years in hospitals and healthcare IT. “Doing integration and implementations was always our bread and butter,” Goforth says. “Our focus has been using our technology and our tools to bring healthcare into the modern world.”
