Why We’re Different

We’ve been there. (And we fixed it.)

Path Forward is unique for a couple reasons. First, our combination of deep expertise in both healthcare consulting and IT support is unmatched in this industry (plenty of other firms will tell you they can do both, but we have the experience to back it up).

Second, Path Forward is still young enough to be nimble and responsive, yet mature enough to have more experience solving today’s medical IT issues than most other firms in the industry. We cut our teeth on medical IT, just as electronic health records and Meaningful Use were becoming front-of-mind issues. We’ve been solving these issues alongside practices just like yours for years.

“Total ownership” and “unmatched expertise” are more than phrases on our website. We really can take care of your IT initiatives so that you can focus on patients. Here are more facts to prove it.

• We actively support the IT and EHR needs of physician practices just like yours. That includes over 500 physicians, more than 15,000 workstations, and over 1000 servers. And no, we didn’t throw a hospital in there to skew the numbers—those are real medical groups, just like yours.
• We understand that relationships with our clients come before anything else. By aligning our every interest with our clients’ satisfaction, we turn a traditional customer/vendor connection into a thriving, trusting partnership.
• We’re in our seventh year of EHR implementations (we’ve done 100+ of these things). Our consulting business model is centered on medical IT. That means we’ll be here for you years from now, while most other consulting companies will have long since moved on to something else.
• We transcend best practice. Our consultants are immersed in client operations, giving them deep knowledge that’s directly applicable to your practice. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel—we bring the experience to show you what works.
• We’re not beholden to any hardware or software vendors—although we’re experts at all of them. Simply put, this is one of Path Forward’s most important differentiators. We don’t make any money from hardware sales, so we’re able to recommend and install exactly (and only) what your practice needs. That being said, our engineers are certified and up to date on whatever technologies you choose, so we know how to put them to the best use for your organization.
