Success in healthcare begins with developing strategies that make sense — now and in the future. Let us analyze your business models and plans to provide valuable guidance and recommendations that will improve your results and fulfill your mission. We can:

• Examine healthcare strategies and plans, including acquisition, consolidation, divestiture and new market entry
• Research and identify attractive investment targets
• Evaluate strategic and business planning

To make the most of your investment, continuous performance improvement is vital. From organizational structures to process changes, SpringParker can help you identify opportunities for improvement and take active steps to increase efficiency and productivity. We can:

• Conduct operational assessments to identify areas of improvement that will deliver the highest return

Transitioning health care assets through M&A, consolidation, divestiture, or new market entry can help improve economies of scale, reduce costs and lift the quality of care — leading to higher productivity, margins and profitability. However, it is critical that you integrate these assets into your organization through an efficient, proven process. Whether your transaction involves a physician medical group or an entire health care organization, we can help you develop and implement detailed plans to ease transitions, minimize problems and improve results. We can:

• Assist with due diligence, including strategy and operations — driving checklist and “soft issues” focusing on factors that boost value
• Ensure Day 1 Readiness by managing the Integration Management Office and timelines, project status, management accountability and stakeholder communications
• Provide detailed, focused and prioritized planning and project management to acquire, integrate, consolidate or divest health care assets
• Integrate pre- and post-transaction business models and help you employ new models for productivity, capacity and staffing/workforce management, including succession planning
• Design and implement best-practice processes, workflows and performance standards
