- Institutional Strategy Development

In the rapidly changing health care environment, strategic plans need to be more than exercises in documenting the past. Plans need to consider the ever present competitive landscape, economic pressures, consumer choice and the quality imperative.

Recognizing these challenges, NSI's strategic planning helps clients identify and prepare for alternative realities, build consensus and focus activities around a desired future direction. Using this approach, clients are able to identify relevant metrics for measuring the success of their plans.

Our services include:

• Focused internal assessment of key constituents' perceptions, organizational performance and medical staff composition;
• Identification of strengths and weaknesses of competitors and competitive threats;
• Delineation of environmental trends and alternative realities;
• Facilitation of a process that is designed to reach consensus, identify priorities and set expectations;
• Development of implementation plans that define relevant metrics for measuring success.

- Service Line Business Planning

In today's competitive environment, it is essential to differentiate products and services in terms of quality, customer satisfaction and reputation. Whether a new or existing service, substantial outlays of resources should not be undertaken without a clear understanding of market place realities and expected financial returns. NSI helps organizations:

• Identify environmental opportunities and threats;
• Define market position, reputation, outcomes and costs;
• Determine organizational fit;
• Assess internal strengths, competencies, and service continuum;
• Complete detailed feasibility assessments;
• Recommend revenue enhancement strategies.
  
  

- Health Service Demand Forecasting

• Utilization patterns and trends;
• Demographic changes;
• Technology trends;
• Reimbursement policies;
• Statistical modeling.
