Rapid changes and evolutions in the health ecosystem mean that leaders must innovate and transform their approach to care, delivery models, processes, and organizational agility.

Our approach is collaborative and tailored to industry dynamics as well as entities’ life-cycle phases. We have worked with health governmental entities, ministries, public and private hospitals, and local integrated networks / accountable care organizations on issues such as health transformation, organization and governance, clinical and operational excellence, and digital transformation.

Health transformation

Kearney brings you deep expertise in driving transformations in healthcare systems, specifically within the GCC context. Our teams have strong healthcare background, both clinical and managerial. We support the design, implementation, and oversight of transformation programs, provide insights on best practices, and provide training and knowledge transfer to client teams to ensure capability development for sustainable transformations. We have supported our clients to optimize their patient journeys, expand access to care, improve clinical operations, and ultimately deliver the vision of value-based care. Our recent work has focused on large-scale healthcare system transformation within the GCC, driving the corporatization of healthcare entities, implementing accountable care organization systems, designing and implementing new models of care, developing governance structures, engaging with key stakeholders, building stronger workforces, and enabling cross-cutting system integration.

Organization and governance

We help healthcare organization entities develop the organizational strength, agility, and leanness as well as the right governance setup needed to translate strategy into tangible results and drive their transformation.

Kearney’s Fit Organization helps leaders to identify the changes that really matter, and then embed those changes in the fabric of the organization through restructuring and governance design to ensure the changes last. This comprehensive approach, supported by tools, benchmarks, case examples, and expertise, is designed to bring you both immediate results and, even more importantly, sustainable benefits that endure for years to come.

Clinical and operational excellence

More and more patients and payers demand both clinical and operational excellence, focusing on efficient processes and improved health outcomes. We help healthcare providers and practitioners develop improvement strategies, transform their clinical operations and service structures, increase productivity, and improve quality of care while optimizing costs.

Engagement is at the forefront of all we do. We engage directly with clinicians, policymakers, payers, management teams, allied health workers, and most importantly, patients, resulting in long-term transformation that is rooted in the clients’ needs and concerns.

Digital transformation

Kearney helps health organizations digitally transform from the inside out, at scale. Our consultants meet you wherever you are on the digital journey—whether you’re just assessing where to begin, or already know exactly where you want to go.

Our approach is practical, yet comprehensive. First, we work with you to digitally enable your engagement models, connecting all stakeholders across the ecosystem—healthcare providers, policymakers, patients, payers, and others.

Second, we help you digitally enable your organizations, engaging internal stakeholders, enhancing processes, capturing data, and improving ways of working.

Kearney brings you deep, applicable insights into the technology engines that power digital, helping you gauge and harness their value in your strategic context. Our goal is not merely to digitize your organization, but to optimize and differentiate your organization’s unique strengths.
