The analytical stage of the engagement is critical to the success of the project. It is often the most resource intensive part of the process. Using a combination of financial reviews, statistical comparisons and clinical practice assessments, we develop a comprehensive assessment of how the organization's supply cost dollars are being spent.

Completing the analysis of spending patterns is just the beginning. Using comparative analyses, industry accepted "Best Demonstrated Practices" and other tools, alternatives to current activities are identified and assessed for financial impact and feasibility.

Only clinically appropriate, financially significant changes are recommended for adoption by the organization.

Proper implementation is the key to overall project success. All too often competing initiatives, misplaced competition and other factors common to large firms prevent full realization of the gains and improvements available.
