Our guest on episode 40 of Healthcare Upside Down is Zak Holdsworth, CEO of Hint Health.
Health systems are faced with a monumental paradigm shift in the way they think about and deliver healthcare services. How your organization responds now will determine its viability in the future.
An unprecedented period of consolidation has led to dramatic changes in the healthcare landscape—most notably a new generation of health systems. Newly formed systems are using pathbreaking strategies to achieve higher performance levels and test approaches to population health management. Established systems are capitalizing on their historical presence and bringing in new partners to forge different paths to success.
ECG understands the unique challenges health systems face as they come together to form integrated systems of care that require a much deeper level of strategic and operational collaboration. Our consultants are prepared to work with stakeholders throughout a health system to achieve outstanding financial performance, execute technology initiatives, expand access to health services, and ensure better patient experiences and outcomes. Whether it’s a small-scale, short-term engagement or one with a fuller scope and extended timeline, our team can help your organization achieve the benefits of a fully integrated health system.

UCHealth is a highly complex system of over 150 ambulatory locations, 12 hospitals, and approximately 3,000 providers across Colorado and southern Wyoming. The system includes academic physicians who are part of the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s faculty and community-based physicians who are employed through UCHealth Medical Group. In summer 2015, executive leadership identified two high priority areas in need of improvement. First, to improve efficiency and patient satisfaction, the practice and care teams’ communication processes with patients needed a dramatic overhaul. Second, patients’ access to care needed to be expanded. UCHealth decided to address these priorities by deploying system resources for patient-facing support services, such as appointment scheduling, through a centralized patient contact center.
With the help of the ECG team and through an objective and transparent benchmarking process, we were able to significantly improve our organizational results. The ROI on this engagement was not only multiples of the investment but returned resources immediately and sustainably that will stabilize our organization and extend our ability to pursue our mission. Further, not only did they identify and implement improvement initiatives, but they coached and developed our internal team so that we learned to feed ourselves in the process.”
Partnering with ECG during the initial development of the contact center and through the first series of ‘go-live’ events at the practices we were onboarding was instrumental in our success. The workflows that we developed and the methods of communication and change that were implemented helped us greatly with culture and operational change across our entire system."
