• Capabilities
  • Overview

    Overview

    We work with you to think, plan and act differently to respond to external industry and legislative pressures (e.g., legislative changes, administration initiatives, federal budget constraints, etc.) Our Huron federal capability statement provides a comprehensive overview to our federal services. For a summary of our areas of expertise, see the descriptions and capability statements below.

  • Care Transformation

    Care Transformation

    We recognize that federal healthcare entities are mission-driven organizations that strive to deliver quality healthcare to their respective beneficiaries while complying with legislative and congressional expectations, requiring careful coordination to operate efficiently. Huron has deep expertise in helping our clients innovate the delivery model to focus on patient wellness by minimizing care variation and improving coordination of care across the continuum, leading to improved access to care, quality outcomes and patient satisfaction, and increased clinical efficiency.

    • Profitability, Full Costing and Cost Recovery

  • Intelligent Automation and Machine Learning

    Intelligent Automation and Machine Learning

    Intelligent automation (IA) is on the agenda for most senior leaders because it can help drive digital transformation, reduce risk and improve employee engagement. In fact, a memo from the Office of the President prioritized automation by tasking federal agencies to streamline operations and reduce burden on their components with a goal to shift resources to high-value work. As a subset of IA, robotic process automation (RPA) is software designed to interact with a computer system's user interfaces to automate repetitive, time-consuming, manual tasks. RPA also helps organizations create a virtual workforce by radically increasing productivity, eliminating manual errors and allowing employees to focus on more meaningful, value-add activities.

    RPA solutions have taken center stage as organizations reassign repetitive, administrative work to bots that can complete these tasks more efficiently and effectively. With new, demanding compliance requirements and regulations driving organizations to streamline operations and eliminate errors, RPA can provide more time for employees to focus on solving healthcare’s largest challenges.

    We partner with UiPath and can help you use automation to ensure the overall financial health of your organization, unlocking new sources of revenue and managing inefficiencies and costs.
