Enabling Borderless Health Care

During our year-end strategic planning session we broadened our company’s footprint to more accurately describe what we do.  We explain the current market landscape and how we as well as our name fit into the health care business.
“Today the health care delivery system creates siloes that do not efficiently work together to control cost and optimize services.  The inspiration for our name springs from the idea that we want to help companies  build a system of integrated, better-coordinated, ‘borderless’ health care.
We are an industry leader in the business of health care and IT convergence consulting, leveraging our deep health care domain expertise, strong global delivery methodology and partnerships with leading technology providers.
We specialize in advising physician groups, health insurance plans  and health care providers on the impact of health care reform and key developments such as HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10, Meaningful Use, Electronic Health Records, and Quality Masures such as HEDIS Five Star Ratings, a key enabler for the  Accountable Care Organization. Our end to end perspective starts with deliery of care to the patient, and we understand the incentives, challenges and business models of all the health care constituencies and trading partners.  We do this by providing superior service, unparalleled expertise, and process transparency.”
