There are many things I appreciate about working at ECG, but foremost are: leadership that I know and trust; clients that I like and respect; coworkers who are talented, professional, and fun to be around; and the opportunity to solve a wide variety of important, interesting problems.

For almost 20 years, Dave has focused on improving performance and achieving alignment between hospitals, physicians, and other entities. Dave’s clients appreciate his knowledge of the issues related to hospital-physician relationships and affiliations, as well as his understanding of the perspective and value that each party brings. This, in turn, allows him to help parties reach sustainable arrangements.

As providers grapple with shrinking revenue sources and increased costs, Dave works closely with hospitals and medical groups on matters that include payer contracting, organizational responses to value-based reimbursement, revenue cycle management, development of professional services arrangements, and physician compensation design. This breadth of experience provides him with a deep understanding of issues that must be addressed in aligning payers and providers for success in a value-based healthcare environment. Prior to joining ECG, Dave served as an officer in the US Army for eight years, and today his clients value the leadership qualities honed during important international assignments.
