Supporting strategic growth through the design of high-impact initiatives.
Over the last decade. the US healthcare system has been transitioning from a fee-for-service model to a value-based care model. While slower than initially expected, and incomplete, the changes will continue and are being sped along by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This transformation and the financial instability created by the pandemic highlight the need for robust strategic planning if health systems wish to survive and thrive in the years to come.
To ensure success in the future, health system leaders must adopt a collaborative and coordinated approach—forging new partnerships, aligning service offerings with community needs and patient expectations, and carefully managing heavier, hospital-based assets while developing lighter-asset, ambulatory care networks.
For nearly 50 years, ECG has been a strategic adviser to the nation’s leading healthcare providers, guiding and supporting the initiatives that have enabled them to grow and provide quality care to millions of patients.
Creating effective enterprise strategy for a value-based world requires balancing long-term positioning with responsive organizational decision-making.

The success of all care delivery strategies hinges on the engagement and performance of physicians. As health systems transition to population health management, more integrated and accountable relationships are required between physicians and hospitals.

Medical staff development plans should be the foundation of your clinical integration, alignment, and recruiting strategies.
ECG uses a qualitative approach to go beyond basic ratios to discover the unique characteristics of your community and physician population. We produce comprehensive and actionable reports that use primary source verified data to ensure that the most accurate and current information is incorporated. Our medical staff development plans not only identify staffing needs, but provide strategic insights related to recruitment, retention, and alignment.
Service line excellence and growth don't occur organically. They are the result of purposeful planning, a clear vision, strategic direction, and the existing strengths of the hospital or system. ECG has the knowledge and experience to provide guidance and support for all major clinical programs, from the very beginnings of program development to execution and optimization.
ECG has dedicated teams to support:
ECG helped an internationally renowned children’s hospital transition operations to a new location while maintaining care quality and delivery.
In June 2016, the Massachusetts eHealth Institute (MeHI) announced that Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC) had been awarded a Connected Communities grant to improve the coordination of care for patients living in Cape Cod. CCHC collaborated with ECG to help manage the care coordination improvement project and facilitate interactions with the large, diverse group of stakeholders. CCHC, ECG, MeHI, and representatives from Mass HIway, worked with collaborating organizations to identify breakdowns in care and implement new processes to improve communication through technology. At the start of the project, CCHC facilities used paper-based processes to exchange clinical discharges and lacked the ability to track the receipt of exchanged information.
We believe healthcare is too costly, too complex, and too fragmented. ECG has identified four key imperatives for health systems to improve their financial health and position their organizations for the future.
Medicare, commercial payers and employer groups are demanding reduced healthcare costs. Providers must be responsive and proactive to keep them all happy.
There are two new PCI payment arrangements for primary care physicians (PCPs) to choose between: Primary Care First (PCF) and Direct Contracting (DC).
While there are many perspectives and publications on the “Hospital of the Future,” few, if any, provide a system perspective. Too often, when imagining the "Health System of the Future," a hospital-centric model emerges. The challenge in this hospital-centric view is that it ignores most of the factors that are already driving services, activity, and revenue to new and different care environments, and will do so increasingly over the next decade.
