Developing successful strategic options

With increasing physician alignment, NMG has seen many national laboratories offering our clients partnership models to build win-win situations for both parties in an effort to reduce costs and hold market share. Systems continue to integrate, providing opportunities for hospitals to streamline, consolidate and achieve cost savings. This continued dynamic is favorable for health systems to evaluate a wide array of partnership options which can lower cost and also provide an opening for hospital labs to compete with nationals. NMG has the depth of knowledge to guide this complex strategic planning.

Our team encompasses a broad range of clinical and organizational expertise. Drawing on this resource, NMG provides informed recommendations that will help your organization meet its short, mid- and long-term strategic goals. Since 1988 we have taken part in strategic initiatives at laboratories of all sizes and complexities throughout the United States. We will apply this experience to help your organization identify and develop successful strategies for your market and its particular needs.

For all strategic options, NMG will take a tactical approach and review multiple potentially affected factors:

  • Future volumes
  • Current and future locations within the system network
  • Integration and consolidation opportunities
  • Equipment standardization opportunities
  • Employee engagement
  • Standard workflow and process improvement opportunities
  • Partnership opportunities
  • Health care reform
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Reimbursement changes (PAMA)
  • Information Technology requirements
  • Capital demands
