About the Center for Healthcare Economics and Policy

The Center for Healthcare Economics and Policy ("Center") is a separate business unit of the Economics Practice within FTI Consulting, Inc. The Center applies cutting-edge economics and quantitative methods to assist clients in developing and implementing market-based solutions across the spectrum of healthcare activity. Our analyses utilize economic modeling and simulation applied to real-world data in order to predict future demand for services to provide organizations insights into how to maintain quality, improve health outcomes and reduce costs, as well as to properly deploy constrained resources. Our advanced capabilities and extensive data sets can address effects of major policy, regulatory, or significant and disruptive changes. We provide predictive modeling capable of evaluating complex "what-if" scenarios for both public and private stakeholders.

Our staff includes academically trained economists with extensive industry expertise and decades of policy and applied experience in the public and private sector. Our experts have testified before antitrust and regulatory agencies in the US and internationally, as well as in state and federal courts on a variety of matters. Further, the Center's experts have published seminal articles on antitrust issues in the healthcare industry as well as novel approaches for quantifying the value of new pharmaceutical interventions.

The Center's analytic domains include mergers and acquisitions, market insight, value-based arrangements, cross-stakeholder and community-level analysis including economic impact of poor health, population health, value assessment, quantification of patient-centered preferences, health economics and outcomes research, and digital health.
