WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Advisory Board Company has earned recognition as a market leader in value-based-care consulting for health care providers. The top rating comes in a new report by KLAS, an independent health research firm that conducts thousands of provider interviews to rate consulting firms and vendors.
In its report, Value-Based Care. Making the Shift: Who Can Help?, KLAS gives The Advisory Board Company's Consulting and Management division top ratings in two critical capabilities for population health management. KLAS found that 100% of Advisory Board members said the firm had a high impact on enabling them to enter future risk-bearing agreements. Additionally, 100% of member providers reported that the Advisory Board had a high impact for delivering on the triple aim, including patient access and satisfaction, clinical care and outcomes, and reducing costs.
"Health care providers have seen that their future market share in increasingly competitive, consumerized environments will depend on their ability to deliver high-value care across risk-based public- and private-payer contracts," said Dennis Weaver, MD, MBA, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Advisory Board Consulting and Management. "In creating and implementing customized care transformation roadmaps, our experience has taught us the importance of having a physician-led organization from governance to strategy to formation. We are happy to see that our approach continues to resonate with health care providers."
KLAS interviewed more than 100 provider organizations for the November report.
'I Would Choose the Advisory Board over Any Other Firm'
The provider commentary in the new report expands upon the Advisory Board's high ratings:
Success Builds on Engaging Physicians
KLAS cited the Advisory Board for top performance in promoting physician leadership to create CINs that better position providers for managing population health. In particular, the report noted that providers "are pleased with (the) Advisory Board's process-oriented, template-driven approach and proven track record with the Federal Trade Commission." The report also highlighted that the Advisory Board helps providers understand the need to create a CIN to be better positioned for population health management and better equipped structurally to align with payers on alternative payment contracts, such as shared savings or bundled payments.
The report notes, "(the Advisory Board's) structured and standardized processes are especially valuable for providers who are interested in a timely and systemized approach to building integrated networks and moving toward sharing risk, with providers giving them one of the highest satisfaction ratings for consulting services in this report."
Advisory Board Consulting and Management has completed more than 2,300 engagements since its inception in 1999. The division has more than 380 management executives and clinicians with an average of more than 15 years of operational experience running critical hospital and medical group departments.
