Market Planning
Because health care is local, how well a hospital or health system serves its market area is an important determinant of its success. We have tools to analyze and understand the service area, patient origin, market share, population trends, utilization shifts, geographic barriers, travel patterns, and competitive actions and reactions. These tools are the critical building blocks we use to help our clients determine capacity needs, size their system, develop their medical staff, grow programs and services or locate a new facility.
