HSG partnered with a Southern Hospital to build a Regional Growth Strategy, focused on expanding their geographic footprint. This included increasing its provider compliment, working collaboratively with its clinical affiliation partner, and responding to competitive pressures from regional and tertiary competitors.
We were very pleased with the work of HSG on our strategic manpower plan. What differentiated them from other consultants was their engagement with the steering group. They facilitated great discussions, members of the group felt they were heard, and that improved the quality of the plan and created greater ownership. In addition, HSG’s analytics were very good and provided a lot of insights that helped us shape the plan.
