McCormack Consultants
Transforming Healthcare Consulting with Technology-Driven Solutions

McCormack Consultants offers a complete range of healthcare consulting solutions, from technology procurement to its implementation, including project management and integration services.

Its extensive knowledge of healthcare industry systems, applications, and tools helps health insurance companies achieve significant time and resource savings in implementing medical management and population health systems.

The company addresses the need for maximum efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare operations due to rising expenses and remote work shifts. McCormack makes this happen through the seamless integration of business and technology.

“The sweet spot between business and technology is where our unique skill set lies. We engage with a client’s business personnel and understand their processes and requirements while exploring the available technology options and creating customized solutions that optimize productivity,” states Michael J. Allen, president and principal consultant, McCormack Consultants.

Securing and implementing the Right Solution through Consultracting

McCormack Consultants acts as Consultractors, consultants in process and design then the contractor who puts the design in action. Due to the extensive experience of their staff, a single resource can provide both roles. It helps clients at every step of the implementation process to ensure successful operations that optimize workflows and improve efficiencies, while avoiding the trap of configuring the new system to operate like the one that was just replaced, enabling them to focus on core business operations with ease.

Through productive discussions with clients, McCormack gains a comprehensive understanding of their business operations and objectives to assess and identify suitable insurance management software systems that align with their specific business goals. It also acts as the conduit of clarity between clients and vendors while finding the right solutions. The analytical hierarchy process aids in the decision-making to compare vendors and choose the most suitable one.

McCormack builds a suitable strategy incorporating planning, budgeting, and resource allocation to help clients make informed business decisions. It then matches business requirements to best-of-class solutions in the market, evaluates competitive technology, and procures the most suitable technology solution.

Following the procurement, it implements the solution by aligning clear benefits with specific business objectives while minimizing disruption to daily operations.

Harnessing the Power of Data for Business Excellence

A challenge that persists in the healthcare industry is the lack of proper utilization of the vast amount of available data. Clients can fully use the data at their disposal with McCormack and translate it into meaningful knowledge through various services like data and system audits, performance analytics, and report creation. It helps them better capitalize on the wealth of insights and potential within their existing data and systems to conduct their business at a higher level.

Another data-related challenge McCormack solves is the significant lack of integration across different companies, health plans, and practices. The company specializes in application and database integration, using a reliable methodology and agile design strategy. In addition, it develops solutions that seamlessly connect new technology with legacy systems, facilitating effective communication and data sharing between multiple systems. The integration projects stand out due to its ability to create efficient and cost-effective solutions as well as anticipate and manage potential risks, ensuring on-time project completion.

The data archival and reporting software solution from McCormack allows clients to archive their medical management or population health system data while having access to some standard reports. When transitioning to a new system, they may not want to migrate all their data. However, CMS requires Medicare plans to keep 10 years’ worth of data accessible for audit purposes. The software resolves this issue by storing and accessing historical data during audits while preventing the migration of unnecessary data.

Bettering Healthcare Plans with Proven Results

McCormack has effectuated successful results for many businesses so far. An example is a client expanding their business by partnering with other integrated health systems to create a new health plan entity. The challenge was to use a complex care management software in a way that different partners received only the data they needed. McCormack developed a wrap-around data transformation solution that could ingest and output data from multiple sources while ensuring internal systems received the data they needed in the appropriate format. It built a solution that met client needs, guaranteeing each partner received the data they needed while maintaining appropriate data across entities.

Similar success stories are attributed to the experienced consultants at McCormack. Deep industry knowledge enables the team to keep clients abreast of the market, technology, and regulatory changes. By providing best-in-class healthcare consulting solutions, McCormack helps clients provide better healthcare plans, and in turn, better healthcare for everyone.

For McCormack Consultants, values are paramount, setting it apart from other consulting companies. Rather than seeing other companies as competitors, the company views them as potential collaborators in providing the best consulting solutions possible. It recognizes the importance of diverse perspectives and fosters relationships with other consulting service providers to assist clients in finding the right partner with unique skill sets. McCormack prioritizes collaboration and partnership above all else and believes working together is the way toward the common goal of improving healthcare for everyone.
