EY-Parthenon Healthcare Strategy Consulting teams have deep sector and functional experience in the dynamic healthcare industry.

What the EY-Parthenon Healthcare Strategy Consulting team can do for you

As the healthcare industry adapts to changing regulations and new expectations from patients and other stakeholders, EY-Parthenon Health teams work with leaders across the healthcare ecosystem to tackle their biggest challenges, develop and drive strategies and solutions, and execute meaningful changes to achieve lasting organizational strength.

Our teams embrace the complexity of healthcare strategy, M&A and joint ventures, adopting an investor mindset while collaborating with chief executive officers, boards, private equity firms and government entities to shape the future of healthcare.

Our unique strategy, transactions and value creation solutions work in practice, not just on paper:

We help healthcare leaders answer critical questions around strategy and growth:

Transformative strategy

  • How should I refine my business strategy to meet evolving customer needs amid the ever-changing health landscape?
  • How can I reinvent my operating model and go-to-market strategy?
  • How can I hone my organization’s strategy to strengthen operational resilience and enhance value?

Transformative transactions

  • What type of transaction or partnership will propel our organization’s growth and meet patient and member needs?
  • How can I grow market share through investment in AI and other technologies? How can I leverage the ecosystem to scale my products and services?
  • What is the right strategy — buy, build or partner — to solve the innovation deficit and enhance value?

In the health sector, setting and executing a strategy to create value for all stakeholders has become increasingly complex. Leaders must take bold and transformative actions — often under intense financial pressure. EY-Parthenon teams can help organizations become more resilient while creating seamless and simplified processes, faster engagement, and virtual and on-site care that is convenient, responsive and effective for patients.
