Our experience in multiple markets, with academic medical centers, community hospitals and specialty hospitals, brings a wealth of ideas to address your particular issues. Our areas of focus:


Departmental/Divisional Assessments

Are the demands of your area increasing without any additional resources? How do you address digital within your existing budget? Where do you focus your resources to garner the greatest return on investment?

Healthcare marketing and communications departments are seeing requests outpacing resources. How do you reengineer your department to ensure you are supporting your organization’s goals?

A department assessment begins with an objective assessment of your current reality. Through a review of documents and executive interviews, a department profile is developed. By comparing the department profile with best practices, a gap analysis is created.

Multi-year recommendations are then developed with budget and success metrics.

Issues Management and Corporate Reputation Strategies

In healthcare, there are thousands of interactions with the public everyday. Every interaction has the potential to enhance or harm your brand and corporate reputation. When this occurs you need to be prepared with messaging that supports your brand and reputation.

In this area, the best practices are to have an issues management function that tracks trends and identifies key issues that might impact the organization publicly. A well designed and managed issues management program keeps your organization ready for whatever may arise.
