Beacon Partners Solidifies Position As Largest Independent Healthcare Management Consulting Firm
Posted on: Monday, 11 February 2008, 12:00 CST
Healthcare management consulting firm Beacon Partners, which focuses exclusively on the healthcare industry, today announced a continued growth pattern with a 40% increase in its employee base over 2007, all in response to industry demand.
This growth has led Beacon Partners to now be the largest privately held healthcare consulting firm in the healthcare industry.
"There's been a lot of consolidation in the healthcare consulting industry lately with the recent acquisition of Healthia by Ingenix, JJWild by Perot Systems, and First Consulting Group by Computer Sciences Corporation," explains Ralph Fargnoli, president and CEO of Beacon Partners.
"Increased industry demand and these acquisitions have allowed us to distinguish ourselves as the largest independent healthcare management consulting firm, which offers a full line of services exclusively to the healthcare industry. We are the only firm in the industry that is not tied to a healthcare technology provider, so our clients know that they are receiving completely unbiased, knowledgeable advice and technical expertise, especially when it comes to the vendor search and selection process."
Why are Beacon Partners' services in such demand?
According to the 18th Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Leadership Survey, 74% of U.S. healthcare organizations reported an increase in IT spending in 2007 as compared to 2006.
Concludes Fargnoli: "There is no end in sight to this trend as healthcare organizations realize the benefits to implementing technology in order to help them achieve improved patient safety, a reduction in medical errors, and an overall increase in efficiency."
