Gnostam Consulting Releases Study of Healthcare sector

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 9, 2012 - SEATTLE BASED MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY, GNOSTAM COMPLETES STUDY ON ISSUES ECONOMIC IMPACT OF HEALTHCARE REFORM.

Gnostam Consulting www.gnostamconsulting.com,  completes a study of the economic impact of healthcare reform on Insurers and Providers.

It is well known that a stitches in a US emergency room can cost upwards of $ 1,500 while the exact same procedure as a private patient in a “socialized” hospital in Europe cost 10 times less.  Much of the cost differences have to do with the “business model” chosen.  Now that the Obama administration Health Care rfrom law is likely to survive, it will become ever more important for Healthcare industry participants to find new more efficient business models to enable them to compete in the new world.

The study details the impact of the choice of business model by industry on healthcare costs, and provides some strategies and metrics for the increasing the effectiveness of healthcare delivery.  The study argues that these changes will be beneficial to those in the healthcare industry who are the early adopters.  Rather than focus on the health care “fee for service” model alone, the study highlights ways in which return on investment for healthcare providers and insurers can be increased, while providing better and lower cost healthcare to patients.  The study also highlights the economic impact of increasing use of supplementary healthcare private insurance, as a “risk management” tool for employers and employees against catastrophic health occurrences.  

The report can be downloaded from the Gnostam Consulting website, [www.gnostamconsulting.com].  By focusing on the industry economics, the Gnostam Consulting Study explores what catalysts there may be to changing healthcare “business models” that had been assumed to be cast in stone.  By reviewing their strategic position, insurers and healthcare providers can chart a course to improve their sales, margins and financial performance, whether in the private or public sectors.
