changing health care market. Learn more about Discern’s approach and philosophy.

The state of today’s health care industry is considered the leading domestic policy issue and a top financial concern of American families nationwide. These concerns stem from the fact that our nation’s health care system is characterized by rising costs, inefficiency and a lack of quality control. Against this background, Discern Consulting partners with a diversified mix of clients in the health care sector to develop comprehensive strategies that lead to positive change.

Discern Consulting was founded in 2004 with the goal of helping organizations achieve value-driven health care. The company originated with the simple concept that many of the analytical and planning methods common in the business world could also be used to improve our nation’s health care system.

Discern designs and implements health care payment strategies that

create incentives for health care providers to balance quality care with efficient use of resources. We specialize in decision analysis and support, including ROI analysis, financial modeling and simulation, and have extensive experience developing and putting into effect pay-for-performance programs for leading health care organizations. Through a combination of project management, policy analysis and program design, the Discern team has supported value-based purchasing programs in more than 15 states.
