IT Strategy
So many times healthcare delivery organizations develop a comprehensive, multi-year IT Strategic Plan, only to see that plan collect dust on a book shelf with only a fraction of the initiatives addressed. HMG believes in developing an IT "Strategic Road Map" that can easily be understood and is aligned with the overall healthcare organization's strategic initiatives. It is very important that Information Technology be an "enabling" component of a hospital's business strategy, while being economically feasible.

"Before we worked with the Huntzinger Management Group, our Information Technology spend was rapidly increasing, our technology infrastructure was breaking and our hospital's perception of IT was negative. HMG assisted us in developing a new IT Delivery Model that provides us with a technology refresh, increases IT awareness and set the future for positive feedback and provides us with a predictable rate of IT spend over the next five years" - CEO of HMG Hospital Client
