Case Studies
Healthcare Delivery and Payers
These selected engagements represent a small sampling of Numerof’s work on our clients’ complex strategic and operational challenges.
A Roadmap to Population Health Management

Driving Growth and Differentiation through Network Strategy
A top healthcare insurance company called on Numerof for an independent view on efforts to improve market share and margins. Our rigorous review of network strategy and recommendations supported continued growth through innovative approaches, better alignment, and more productive partnerships with providers.
Reducing Cost and LOS, Enhancing Service Lines, and Improving Care
Numerof helped this well-known academic healthcare system respond to competitive pressure. Our comprehensive analysis and implementation support led to reduced LOS, better alignment, enhanced service lines and care, and $76M in annual cost savings.
Making a Rigorous Case for Economic and Clinical Value
Facing potential commoditization and certain reimbursement pressure, this nationally prominent network of hospitals engaged Numerof to strengthen its value case. Our work helped secure contracts with payers and employers, embedded a new organizational focus on data to demonstrate outcomes, and continues to support growth efforts.
Managing Variation and Preparing for New Payment Models
This nationally recognized healthcare system looked to Numerof for help preparing for bundled payments. In addition to providing a plan the organization could rally around, we helped them better manage variation in cost and quality, develop evidence-based care paths, and achieve meaningful improvements in the current fee-for-service environment.
Diagnosing Cultural and Infrastructure Issues Threatening Viability
While delivering outstanding care, this nationally renowned integrated delivery network faced increasing financial challenges and had struggled to find root causes. Numerof diagnosed the issues and helped to change the culture, improve clinical-administrative alignment, and address critical gaps in capabilities, processes, and accountabilities.
