Physician organization executives primarily attribute the increased demand for value-based care advisory services on several factors out of their scope of current experience:

93% have no strategic plan activated for transforming population health management or value-based care solutions end-to-end to confront known deadlines because there are no internal experts identified;


Less than 7% of physician organizations surveyed have begun comprehensive value-based care software vendor selection activities and are considering consultants to assist them; and

95% of group practice and large clinic Chief Information Officers state they do not have the information technology or staff in-house needed to transform value-based care end-to-end as their physician and or executive team envisions;

"Real end-to-end value-based care transformations require complex technology optimization, strategic assessment of patient mix and payers, analytics, decision support tools, staff training, outsourcing and new software implementations," said Brown.

The new era of how providers get paid is going to impact the entire organization and most physician organizations aren't remotely prepared for it according to 88% of surveyed practice managers.

Fifteen consultant and advisory practices received qualified ratings from 877 physician groups, practices and organizations. Black Book Market Research LLC measures customer satisfaction across 20 copyrighted key performance indicators specific to consultants and advisors.

CareAllies, Inc., a Cigna company, scored first in 9 of 20 key performance indicators focusing on healthcare advisory firms including: Trust, Reliability, Transparency and Confidentiality; Return-On-Investment and Quality of Engagement Deliverables; Best-of-Breed Advisory Technology, Strategic Population Health Management Options and Delivery Alternatives; and Advisor Experience and Qualifications.

"Physician groups are seeking advisors to help them transition to value-based care and manage long-term health plans for patients in multi-payer environments," said Brown. "Consultative approaches that emphasize physician engagement, culture change, actionable data and analytics are producing some very prepared and motivated physician organizations as they move from volume to value."
