The rising cost of healthcare is significantly diluting the profitability of today’s employer. Thomas Group’s Healthcare Practice approaches healthcare cost as a multidimensional challenge. Specifically we help employers address the direct cost of disease care (the traditional measure determined by the breadth and depth of the healthcare benefit plan) as well as the cost of lost productivity due to presenteeism and absenteeism which in some industries exceeds the actual cost of care.
Thomas Group also works with providers of healthcare (hospitals and physician practices) to identify and implement process improvements which increase quality and reduce cost. Process Value Management, our proprietary methodology, improves operations through addressing cultural issues and improving efficiencies in cycle time and quality. The result; increased capacity, reduced variation,and waste resulting in enhanced profitability and growth.
Our unique ability to work with both employers and providers allows us to bring great synergy to the community. It is within this space that Thomas Group applies its methodology to allow community coalitions to overcome significant barriers and work as one for the greater good.
Thomas Group’s healthcare practice is a leader in creating and implementing personalized improvement strategies that drive sustained organization transformation for employers, business coalitions, healthcare providers, and life sciences.
By aligning Knowledge Leadership, performance improvement, and our methodology, we empower clients with the right business solutions for competitive advantage. Our work focuses on critical issues at the intersection of strategy and implementation:
