Tactical & Strategic Advisory Services

Burwood Group works with the world’s leading information technology companies, as well as with healthcare providers. Our consultants are well informed about today’s technology innovations, those in development, and about consumer and industrial applications that could be of use in the healthcare setting. We are equally well informed about regulatory and reimbursement developments affecting healthcare information technology.

 

In a tactical advisory role, we can help providers responding to immediate business opportunities, like grants or government incentive programs, technology opportunities offered by wireless communications devices, or in responses to business proposals from public and private payers where innovations in information technology could positively affect economics or care delivery. In mergers and acquisitions we can help providers and healthcare device companies with due diligence, focused on information technology issues.

In a strategic role, Burwood Group can assist with long term information systems planning to support organizational growth. We help our clients understand the information infrastructure required for a major upcoming shift, such as assuming the role of an accountable care organization, better integrating inpatient and outpatient care delivery, or developing joint ventures with other healthcare organizations.

 

Enterprise Technology Alignment

We work with organizational leaders to develop information systems solutions that will support tactical and strategic initiatives like new service offerings, evolutions in role (accountable health care organizations), geographic expansion, mergers and acquisitions, or facility re-purposing.

 

Informatics Supporting Clinical and Business Intelligence

Our medical informatics and technology team helps clients gain optimum advantage from the data flow in their institution, deploying data analysis and business management tools that support continual quality improvement and well-informed decision making.

 

Mobile, Digital Devices

Burwood Group works with hospital leadership, IT, and clinicians to address strategic and tactical issues posed by the rapid proliferation of these new tools. We help clients develop and implement plans to address clinical utility, security, compliance, and transmission issues, as well as promote interoperability with other hospital systems.

 

Merger and Acquisition Due Diligence

We advise clients on technology, clinical interoperability, compliance, and performance issues related to information systems, which could affect the decision about a proposed combination. We provide a better understanding of costs involved, new systems that may be required, and potential synergies.
