Our Focus and Expertise

The client base of The Katz Consulting Group, Inc. is, by design, almost exclusively within the health care industry.  Engagements range from limited, short-term single client contracts to extensive undertakings involving multiple institutions and national health care planning agencies.  We have worked with direct providers of health care services; policy-making, planning and regulatory agencies; professional health care associations; and other organizations which are integral to the health care system.  Our clients vary widely in size, complexity, and role.  They range from 1,000-bed major academic medical centers to 80-bed rural hospitals, and from municipal policy-making bodies to start-up business ventures.  We have also served physicians, insurers and payers of health care services.

The core of the services provided by The Katz Consulting Group, Inc. team can be characterized as strategic management consulting.  Every member of the professional team has significant experience in the methodology and art of strategic business planning.  Strategic planning projects may be focused on the client's entire organization, on a system of related organizations, or on a specific service, product line or geographic area.  Our approach to strategic planning typically involves understanding and addressing the organization's structure and goals, marketplace positioning and competitive dynamics, and the financial implications of a course of action.

The process by which we assign staff to client projects is a clear reflection of our commitment to the quality of The Katz Consulting Group Inc.'s consulting product.  We recognize that today's hospitals and health care systems are far too complex for any one consulting practice to have on staff experts within every technical area and industry niche.  At The Katz Consulting Group, Inc., our core staff represents individuals who have extensive experience managing health care organizations.  Our strategic planning team is currently staffed with individuals whose particular strengths are in the areas of health care management, governance and organization, health care financial analysis and planning, long-term care, health care strategic marketing, physician/hospital integration, ambulatory care planning, and new program development and business planning.  Although the professional staff of The Katz Consulting Group, Inc. continues to grow with the addition of new team members who each possess a specific technical expertise or industry focus, we sometimes serve our clients best by inviting technical experts to join our team on specific projects.  These experts have included, for example, physicians, nurses, real estate professionals, and reimbursement experts.  Through our wide range of contacts, The Katz Consulting Group, Inc. assembles the team best qualified to meet our clients' needs.
