Overview
The scope of my consulting practice is considerable. This is apparent from my past assignments (see Clients and Consulting Assignments PDF).
I am not a “niche” consultant, with very narrowly defined interests. Instead, I recognize, and appreciate, the broad interrelationships and diverse nature of medicine and health care. Technology, clinical practice, research, education, and health policy are all critical components of the same underlying gestalt.
As an example, the foregoing interrelationships are often readily apparent when medical centers or health systems are considering the development of new clinical or research programs, both of which are typically organized around new technology, including, drugs and devices, medical and surgical procedures, and organizational and support systems.
A wide range of issues must be addressed when new programs are being designed, or existing programs are subject to modification (see Research Center Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation PDF). A few of the relevant issues include: (1) economic feasibility, (2) staff recruitment, (3) marketing, and (4) evaluation and monitoring. In today’s health care environment, a one-dimensional strategy is simply unacceptable.
Regardless of the client, consulting assignments must also be approached from multiple perspectives. Too often there is an unfortunate tendency – a social desirability bias if you will – to solely focus on the needs of the client, and a failure to appreciate the broader context within which decisions are being made, and implemented. In reality, all potential participants or stakeholders – providers, industry, payers, and patients – have legitimate and varying perspectives, each of which should be entertained.
Thus, when I am being considered for any consulting assignment, it is important for prospective clients to look at the full range of my interrelated capabilities, and to decide which ones are likely to add value to the consulting relationship (see Consultants and the Consulting Relationship PDF).
While niche consulting, with its narrow focus and precise specificity, offers a high level of personal comfort and security for the consultant, comprehensive consulting is usually far more rewarding, and reassuring, for both the client and the consultant.
Given this introduction, please review my areas of expertise. Then, if you have a consulting assignment in which we may share an interest, take a few minutes to complete the Consulting Request Form available on this web site, and return it to me as instructed. However, in the process, you may also want to read the PDF entitled How Does a Potential Client Get Started??
