Impact Advisors is ahealthcarein- formation technology consulting firm that is solving some of the
toughest challenges in the industry
by delivering strategic advisory,
implementation and optimization
services. “Our comprehensive suite
of patient access, clinical and revenue cycle services span the lifecycle of our clients’ needs,” says Maria Smith, Chief Financial Officer.
“Our experienced team has a powerful combination of clinical, revenue, operations, consulting and IT
experience.” Smith sat down with
Consulting to discuss the firm’s financial performance.
Consulting: What were the
main factors that contributed
to your firm’s growth?
Smith: A combination of the continued growth in opportunities to
solve our clients’ most significant
healthcare challenges and being
well-prepared to serve them with
an exceptional team of healthcare
professionals who are dedicated to
our mission to “create a positive Impact.” Our associates average twenty plus years of experience in the
healthcare sector. Their expertise is
leveraged daily to help our clients
solve some of the most strategic and
complex problems.
Consulting: How is this year
shaping up for your firm?
Smith: We are on target to finish the
year strongly and according to the
strategic and operational plans we
established for 2017. Whether from
the perspective of meeting market
demand through our various service
offerings or being on target to meet
our growth goals for the year, 2017
is shaping up to be an outstanding
year at Impact Advisors.
Consulting: How would you
describe your firm’s outlook
for 2018? Where do you see
the most opportunities?
Smith: As we approach 2018,
we continue to look ahead, anticipating our clients’ needs in an
ever-changing and most dynamic
environment. Many organizations
have implemented their core enterprise technology solutions and
are asking, “What’s next?” The
next phase will be to harvest the
information out of these systems to
radically optimize the delivery of
care. The infusion of information
into the healthcare delivery process
is of tremendous importance. This
will be a key differentiator in creating a unique patient experience.
Consulting: What would you
say are your firm’s biggest
challenges in 2018?
Smith: The healthcare industry is
challenged with a level of uncer-
tainty due to what the new health-
care bill and the next four years will
bring to the industry. From a con-
sulting perspective, our challenge
will be shaping our services to react
to that environment. Regardless of
the landscape, our constant goal is
to create efficient environments and
operations for our clients.
Consulting: What does being
named one of Consulting’s
Fastest Growing Firms mean
to your firm, your employees
and your clients?
Smith: Being recognized by
Consulting as a Fastest Growing Firm
validates we continue to reach our
growth goals as a work family. As
these goals are established, we openly share them through multiple firm-wide communication channels. Our
clients delight in seeing us named as
one of Consulting magazine’s Fastest Growing Firms, knowing they
were such a direct and significant
part of making our growth dreams
become a reality.
