Strategic Health Care Consulting

 

Povall Associates has been providing expert strategic and operational advisory services to healthcare related organizations for over 10 years.  We collaborate closely with a group of highly respected industry professionals to bring insight and value for the benefit of each client we serve. Clients include hospitals, health plans, health centers, specialty health care providers, TPAs, pharmaceutical companies, and health care technology businesses.

 

Business Development/Product Positioning

 

We understand complex health and human services policy, finance and technology issues, and help organizations position themselves and their products for optimal market advantage. In Massachusetts, we have a particular advantage of being able to connect organizations in a synergistic way to grow their businesses.  We help businesses find their niche in the current health care environment with the belief that there is always a thirst for new and innovative solutions to improve quality and reduce cost.

 

Competitive Intelligence

 

We perform quick-turnaround competitive intelligence and due diligence work -- often for Massachusetts health and government sectors.

 

Proposal Strategy and Development

 

Advance planning and education are essential ingredients in preparing a winning proposal in response to state or federal procurement requests.  We assist clients interested in bidding on an upcoming procurement to understand the key issues, problems to be solved, major stakeholders, likely competitors and pricing scenarios.  We also help identify potential partners -- and further, make the introductions -- to help establish beneficial alliances.  Figuring out in advance what will differentiate a winning proposal is key, especially given the short turnaround time typically provided for responses.

 

Once the RFR is issued, Povall Associates provides oversight and guidance on structuring the message, writing, editing and pricing.

 

Government Relations

 

Louise Povall, has built trusted relationships with Massachusetts officials and government staff relative to Medicaid, revenue and savings, and health care issues.
