Sinaiko Healthcare Consulting Introduces "Strategic Analytics" Consulting Services

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 5, 2008) - Sinaiko Healthcare Consulting, Inc., one of the nation's leading independent healthcare management consulting firms, has introduced a new line of services to help their clients analyze complex business challenges and data in order to make sound business decisions.

Sinaiko's "Strategic Analytics" services are designed to apply the firm's deep industry experience to client business challenges that are driven by data and situational analysis. Examples of these types of consulting engagements include the evaluation of whether a possible new service line could be fiscally viable for a hospital or health plan, whether a new healthcare business venture is likely to be a wise investment for a venture capital or private equity firm, an assessment of potential impacts of new programs at a health system, or whether key performance metrics have been achieved in various hospital operations.

"Given the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system, healthcare executives and financial organizations that invest in healthcare businesses rely on objective data and strategic analytics more than ever to guide their business decisions," said Jeff Sinaiko, president of Los Angeles-based Sinaiko Healthcare Consulting, Inc. "Our Strategic Analytics service line applies deep industry expertise and experienced business analysis to solve our clients' complex problems. This experience allows our consultants to design programs and solutions that not only produce powerful data, but also interpret it in a meaningful way that helps our clients better achieve their strategic goals."

The experts at Sinaiko have provided strategic analytics consulting services for years to large provider systems, academic medical centers, hospitals, health plans, lending institutions, venture capital firms and private equity companies. These engagements have involved performing due diligence and financial analysis, assessing organizational and Board governance effectiveness, developing strategic business plans and creating pay-for-performance quality programs. According to Sinaiko, the firm recently decided to create the dedicated Strategic Analytics service line in response to growing demand from clients for assistance with more complex problem solving.
