ECG and all of its business management consultants have committed their careers to the healthcare industry. Our people’s commitment to healthcare extends beyond the workplace and includes activities such as volunteering and serving on the boards of various non-profit healthcare organizations.

We Possess In-Depth Understanding of Trends in Healthcare

ECG’s business consultants understand the complex challenges facing healthcare providers today, including dramatic rises in healthcare premiums, the consolidation of healthcare insurers, the migration to consumer-directed healthcare, the medical liability crisis, and demands for increased customer service, just to name a few. Couple these business trends with an increasingly complex regulatory environment, major investments required to stay competitive, an increasing shortage of physicians in many specialties, competition between hospitals and their medical staff over ambulatory revenues, and the issues can seem overwhelming.

Our Clients’ Challenges Become Our Challenges

ECG’s consultants have worked with governing boards, executive management, department chairs, physicians, and other healthcare providers for over 30 years to help them navigate the strategic, financial, operational, and political issues facing their organizations as a result of these and other significant trends. Our consultants commit themselves to being strategic partners and measure their success by the ability to formulate and implement practical and innovative approaches for addressing the complex challenges confronting our clients. Our strong commitment is rewarded with substantial repeat business by our clients. Nearly 85 percent of our engagements are from our existing and former clients or their referrals.

ECG Promotes Extensive Industry Involvement

Our consultants are members of leading healthcare associations, often partnering with clients to serve as faculty for state, regional, and national educational programs. We encourage all of our consultants to get involved in these healthcare associations to both help improve the healthcare industry and further strengthen our ability to stay in tune with cutting-edge innovations.
