Healthcare

The healthcare sector is undergoing significant transformation driven by cost pressure, an aging population, consumerization, and the accelerating adoption of information technology.  Hospitals and insurers alike are struggling to find ways to improve patient care while also remaining competitive and financially secure.

Many payers and providers are turning to their partnerships to find efficiencies, develop innovative new revenue streams, and better manage costs.  Vantage Partners brings unique expertise in negotiation and relationship management to help organizations in the healthcare industry achieve greater value from their relationships.  For example, we:

  • Coach and advise payers and providers in their critical negotiations
  • Help hospitals to improve the way they negotiate with suppliers, and manage key supplier relationships to ensure they can keep quality high while effectively managing costs
  • Work with IDNs and GPOs to enhance cross-network collaboration – improving decision making, problem solving, and management of conflict across different parts of the system, including physician practices and clinics
  • Help insurance companies to improve their ability to manage their partnerships more effectively
  • Advise payers on strategies and skills for creating a culture of customer service, transforming the way the organization relates to its customers
  • Advise organizations on how to effectively manage change when moving to electronic medical records
