Transforming the Healthcare Ecosystem with Cutting-Edge Solutions

Digital Transformation: The accelerated shift to digitally driven care delivery, demand for a consumer-centric experience, and pandemic-propelled pressures have made digital transformation an essential and existential requirement for stakeholders across the healthcare delivery ecosystem. At Chartis, they combine their breadth and depth of healthcare expertise with innovative, provocative applications of digital technology for business model and care delivery redesign that have been proven across leading, digitally transformed industries. Their deep understanding of all corners of health systems allows them to develop and implement enduring digital strategies for tomorrow grounded in today’s business, clinical, and economic realities.

High Reliability Care: Delivering consistent excellence in clinical quality, safety, and patient experience is at the heart of healthcare missions. However, achieving high reliability care remains elusive for many organizations due to its complexity. Only Chartis offers the clinical, operational, and change capabilities needed to quickly elevate care quality and sustain a culture of safety and continuous improvement. Chartis helps organizations increase efficiency, adopt best practices, increase provider engagement, and improve outcomes equitably while lowering costs. Whether you’re just starting the high reliability journey or undertaking a focused effort to address a specific vulnerability, the company meets you where you are and help you achieve meaningful and lasting results that improve care delivery for your providers and community.

Oncology Solutions: Like the disease itself, cancer care’s macro-landscape is complex and constantly evolving—in science, care delivery, policy, and finance. Small changes in the ecosystem ripple with outsized impact to providers and care delivery systems, requiring a nearly continuous refinement of budgets, market strategy, and clinical operating models.  At Chartis Oncology Solutions, they leverage their experience across 45 years and more than 2,500 engagements to help clients anticipate and navigate today’s trends and improve care for their communities. The company’s cancer-exclusive consultants collaborate with leading oncology providers—community, academic, and NCI centers—to address evolving industry dynamics and build sustainable programs with differentiated value.

Physician Enterprise Solutions: The days of passively managing the physician enterprise are gone. To succeed in today’s competitive environment, it's critical that you reposition your physician enterprise as a vital component of your integrated clinical enterprise to drive value along your clinical, operational, and financial dimensions. Chartis understands the synergistic relationships between physician entities and the broader health system, the complex financial relationships, and the competing priorities you need to reconcile. Their multi-faceted approach seamlessly integrates performance improvement, clinical optimization, strategic growth, and technology enablement—to provide a holistic, 360-degree view of the changes required for you to effectively grow revenue, reduce expenses, improve outcomes, operate efficiently and effectively, and bend your cost curve.

Advanced Analytics: Chartis leads the development of next-generation analytics, delivering insights and perspective to improve your care delivery. By harnessing the emergence of advanced analytics techniques, data visualization, and AI/machine learning technologies, they can help you intelligently navigate what’s next for your healthcare organization. Progress in a data-driven era requires a nimble and focused analytics strategy. For providers, this means harnessing data and advanced technologies to meet the healthcare needs of tomorrow. Chartis brings together the power of analytics with unparalleled healthcare expertise to create tailored, informed solutions for what's ahead.
