Our Strategic Approach to Healthcare Consulting

Engagement Process Overview:

At Pathstone, our healthcare consultants leverage deep industry expertise, working collaboratively with clients to identify potential projects and initiatives which drive sustainable value for the organization.

Our Strategic Approach to Healthcare Consulting

1. Identify

Pathstone thoroughly reviews current spend and best practices, vets savings opportunities with client stakeholders, and builds business cases that clearly outline the path to value delivery. Our review extends beyond the traditional Price Value Lever. Our prior engagements have shown focusing on all 6 Value Levers doubles hospital savings potential (15% vs 7%).

  • Pathstone extends the traditional spend pie versus that normally addressed (Clinical Supplies and Support Services) by Supply Chain. Hospitals traditionally address 40% (only) of spend, whereas Pathstone can address 100% of total non-labor spend.
