EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ► OPERATIONS ► HEALTHCARE
Transforming healthcare operating models: what are the imperatives
and means for large players headquartered in developed markets?
Management agenda
• Compliance, customer
satisfaction and cost
three most important
challenges for
healthcare companies
today
• Least pressing
challenges are capital
and asset intensity,
agility and adaptability,
and risk management
Advanced operations can address imperatives
• Claims processing and adjudication seen as
important in solving them followed by claims recovery
and payment integrity
• Claims processing and adjudication also considered
most mature – and ready to evolve further
• Analytics function seen as comparatively less mature
• Many executives believe advanced organizational
structures (shared services, business process
outsourcing) have material impact on operations;
technology is cited by fewer, but associated with
slightly more monetary impact

In conclusion
COOs and other senior healthcare executives are
challenged to adapt to a rapidly changing business
environment in an economy that remains unpredictable.
They say that intense regulatory scrutiny, the need to
improve customer satisfaction, and cost reduction
imperatives are their most important business concerns.
This research examined how those challenges can be
tackled by three levers of operating model
transformation: technology, process re-engineering, and
advanced organizational structures. The related
transformation of operations is an untapped strategic lever
for the COO as well as the CEO.
However, it is sometimes seen as a formidable
undertaking. Few understand the “IT + analytics +
process operations” nexus sufficiently. Technological
excesses of the past (such as ERP or data warehouses)
are well documented. Some technologies are unproven,
some uses of analytics are unclear, and older technologies
are rigid and expensive to evolve. Finally, it is frequently a
struggle to scale deep analytics throughout the enterprise.
Our experience of advanced operating models,
accumulated over 15 years, clearly indicates that there are
agile and practical ways to transform.
The key is to design, transform, and run the processes that
power advanced operating models so that they closely
align with measurable business goals, thereby avoiding
saddling the company with unnecessary and often
unmanageable complexity.
This approach focuses more rigorously on the sources
of impact and deliberately disregards any practice that does
not yield material outcomes. It also takes a more objective
and holistic look at technology, analytics and organizational
practices. It leverages now-mature “system of
engagement” technologies that complement “system of
record” technologies. It treats analytics (the arc of data-to-insight-
to-action) as a process and determines how to
embed insight at scale into the fabric of other enterprise
processes; it does not take the typical approach of viewing
analytics as a task and a set of technologies. Finally, it
harnesses the process and organizational levers
available from established disciplines, such as
reengineering, shared services, outsourcing, and global
delivery.
We think that there is a smarter way to transform operating
models and address the most complex strategic challenges.
This is a way for COOs to make their enterprises more
intelligent and generate material impact.
