Healthcare Services Overview
 
  

Jefferson has been in the business of helping healthcare delivery organizations address their clinical, financial, technical and operational solutions.  We understand the challenges health delivery organizations are facing in today's fast-paced and changing environment.

Keeping up with industry changes while executing operations is not an easy feat.  That's why working with a partner that has industry experience is so important. The forces facing every healthcare executive are:

  • Global Economic Competition – Increasing healthcare insurance costs are affecting product pricing that must compete in a global economy with countries that provide government subsidized healthcare.

  • Acute Care to Chronic Disease Management – A shifting emphasis away from an Acute Care model of delivery to a Chronic Disease management model

  • Emphasis on Wellness and Prevention – The healthcare industry is also shifting from a sickness model to a wellness model reflected in an expanding interest in alternative and complementary medicine.

  • Focus on the Consumer – Increasing consumer sophistication requires providers to partner with the patient

  • Advancing Technology – Technology is progressively moving the delivery site of healthcare services closer to the patient’s home. Who would have imagined that ten years ago patients could undergo surgery with less than a one day stay in the hospital?

  • Increasing competition – Many businesses and professional groups have begun to compete for portions of the hospital dollar.

  • The New Economy – The accelerating pace of change, instantaneous access to information and new knowledge, changing organizational structures and the compression of time are phenomena that are affecting all industries including healthcare.

We’ve worked with leading delivery organizations over the past ten years in implementing clinical, financial, technical and operational that provide real value and measurable improvement to your business.

  • Clinical:  We employ top-notch clinicians and industry practitioners with real-world experience to help you implement high quality that transform clinical operations.

  • Financial:  We possess deep expertise in financial transformation and optimization to help identify ways to save money and obtain cost avoidance.

  • Technical We have a breadth of experience in implementing clinical and financial systems, ERP and CRM, continuous computing , digital imaging, integration engines and many others.

  • Operational:  We understand how to leverage IT to deliver quantifiable improvements and savings through organizational improvements, business transformation and leadership methods for non-clinical operations.
