Healthcare 

New financing models and increasing cost pressure are challenging hospitals and nursing facilities to protect their long-term performance. Thus, the creation of transparency in cost structures, process efficiencies and profitability will increasingly become a key factor.

  • Do you want or need to decentralize financial managerial responsibility?
  • Are you looking for incentive-compatible regulations/systems for the remuneration of physicians? 
  • Do you lack the necessary resources or expert knowledge to cope with your daily work or projects?
  • Do you need support in implementing the legal requirements of the health insurance act (KVG) and cantonal guidelines?
