The report is used to assess and identify the top consulting firms in healthcare IT. KLAS categorizes firms into an IT Advisory Services Experience Quadrant. The Chartis Group was categorized in the upper right quadrant for comprehensive firms – market experience leaders with both breadth of capabilities and depth of validated experience that are shaping the market with their ability to lead large-scale, complex engagements and serve as go-to partners for a large number of services.

“When trying to identify potential healthcare IT consulting firms, providers encounter an overwhelming number of choices, making it difficult to sort through the options and identify a good fit,” according to the report. “In this report, KLAS presents a deep dive into which services firms offer, how much experience they have with those services, and the many differentiators that can be useful in determining how well a firm performs.”

Among the Chartis differentiators noted in the report was its strategic competency defined as bringing a big-picture understanding of the healthcare landscape, customizing strategy through client collaboration, and having the experience and perspective to share best practices in healthcare and gleaned from other organizations’ experiences. The Chartis Group had the highest percentage of providers mention strategic competency as its sweet spot. According to the report, “The Chartis Group not only delivers strategic planning to their clients but also ensures clients are supported in executing that plan.”

“We are very proud of our team for continuously delivering crucial insights through actionable plans and recommendations that help our clients improve operations and prepare for the future,” said Daniel S. Herman, Director and Informatics and Technology Practice Leader for The Chartis Group.
