Providence Health & Services Anyone looking to exit to industry? I’m a former Big 4 revenue cycle consultant now leading the net revenue valuation and analytics at a large West health system with two current openings. One is in the data shop (SQL, cloud migration, Clarity) and the other is on the analyst side (budget/forecast, variance/trend analysis). Offshore team for the grunt work allows us to focus on value-add, including collaboration with our data scientists on integrating machine learning into our processes. Providence Health & Services

Healthcare PI is strong
A firm that only does healthcare may sometimes be limited in its impact (for the record I do think ECG is a solid firm). For example, our HLS practice leverages findings from work done in financial services, retail, and other sectors that are way out in front of health organIzations in regards to consumerism, digital, and tech. Having access to that thought leadership and lessons learned (strategy and implementation) has been invaluable and is appreciated by our HLS clients.

Healthcare is a broad category, and I agree that it depends on what domain(s) you’re interested in. ECG focuses solely on healthcare and has been named the number one overall management consulting firm in the 2018 Best in KLAS report. I think it’s well-earned distinction.

ECG Management Consultants - the firm ONLY does healthcare (strategy, finance, IT, Ops). Amazing firm with exceptional people that really care about healthcare, but lacking firm brand recognition
Huron
Huron
For big firms / breadth of services I think of Deloitte. For boutique firms I think of ECG and Chartis. For strategy I think of BCG.
Saw KLAS mentioned in an earlier post. Keep in mind that it is based on client interviews and has a bias towards tech; and requires a hefty payment by the vendor to play the game. While that certainly has merit, it also does not represent the industry. Which firms are called upon for large government work? Which firms are called upon to address embarrassing messes? Many healthcare provider organizations won't volunteer that information.
ECG is wonderful and has highly qualified industry expertise.
Huron is pretty solid though depends on what within HC specifically. For pure play strategy Id definitely say OW
Depends on what you want to do and in what part of healthcare. If you just want to focus on strategy, it’s the usual suspects that have scale and top school grads. If you want to do strategy and implementation (business + tech) mid-size firms that don’t offshore are typically more specialized and interesting, and also growing faster if you’re into the entrepreneurship angle of consulting. Finally you have product-centric (e.g. Facets, Epic, Salesforce). Lots of great options out there, but probably need to be more specific on your question to get defensible answers.

Huron's Healthcare Technology practice is strong. We do lots of legacy support. I have work coming out of my ears.
I agree that it depends on what aspect of healthcare you are lookin at. Are you primarily focused on provider or payor? Strategy or ops improvement? Large scale transformation projects or smaller projects? While one firm might excel in one or two of these areas, it would be quite conceited and incorrect to claim excellence in all of these areas
We had some ABC folks join us and they were a disaster (got shown the door in short order). We’ve cleaned up their work at a few places. I’ve also heard OK things about them for their data but not their consulting services
KLAS doesn’t mean anything to anyone except the people that directly participate and maybe as a new shopper starting point. I speak from provider side experience if that means anything.
