Welcome to Health Care Futures!

Health Care Futures excels at providing health care leaders with innovative business advice. Since our founding in 1996 our business philosophy has been to partner with our clients to help create perspective about their important strategic business issues and opportunities.

With healthcare costs predicted to grow to 20 percent of the U. S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2014, it is no wonder that leaders of hospitals, health systems, academic medical centers, and physician groups increasingly value new ideas that can better meet community needs, create affordable health care, and assure sufficient cash flows to reinvest in their futures.

Our consultants are highly talented professionals that share your passion for the health care industry. Consistent with our business philosophy, about half our consultants have more that 10 years practical healthcare and consulting experience, and several have more than 20 years experience.

Our consultant functional capabilities include strategic planning (broad-based as well as for clinical service lines such as cardio-vascular, neurosciences, orthopedics, ambulatory surgery and cancer care), financial and capital planning, clinical process improvement and physician practice management.

Our clients include elite pace-setters in the industry, as well as other healthcare provider organizations less well known but no less ready to strongly assert their mission in their markets.

Our client base includes regional and multi-state healthcare systems, academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, single- and multi-specialty physician group practices, senior services providers and provider-sponsored managed care organizations.

We partner with our clients, help create perspective on their issues, identify likely alternatives, and produce results rapidly by:

Using small teams of seasoned consultants with substantial functional experience and facilitation expertise;
Dedicating the attention of our senior people to a limited number of clients at one time, and;
Working primarily for senior management and for the Board, thereby enhancing the chances for successful implementation.

We recognize that every organization is different and has an important history, a differentiating culture and unique market considerations. Cookie cutter consulting provided by inexperienced people is too often the norm, but not when you engage Health Care Futures.

Our professionals work closely with senior leadership to understand the unique organizational history, cultural and market forces impacting your organization, identify and analyze options for positive change, and help develop practical recommendations to move your organization forward. While we don’t use cookie cutters, we do use proven consulting process templates such as our 9-Cell Financial Model © and our proven strategic planning template to focus our work and optimize the use of your time.

We have established one of the largest, independent, dedicated health care strategy practices (for both general healthcare business strategy as well as selected clinical service lines) by providing exceptional service, innovative solutions, and demonstrated results for our clients.
