Strategic Planning & Positioning
Hospitals are successful only when they have a concise business plan with a clear vision of the future. Health care strategic planning is where our consultants provide expert guidance. Working with a wide range of industries, we've gained a hard-won knowledge of healthcare service delivery and would be pleased to put that knowledge to work for your organization, regardless of your size.
Planning for Success
Success in your planning project requires trust in the facilitator, the effective presentation of ideas, and an abiding understanding that all decisions remain in your hands. We are successful when the alternatives are clear, the implications of those alternatives are understood, and the process leads to clear decisions. This is true regardless of whether we are working with your management, your medical staff, or your governing board.
Our Approach
When AHS works with you, we are working on your plan. We do not present materials under our firm name, nor do we present what we think all clients should be doing. We become a part of your team, engaging the organization and often the community, to ensure that whatever decisions are made have the best possible chance of success.

"During the summer of 2000, Jan Jennings was the Acting CEO of St. Tammany Parish Hospital. Simultaneously, he managed the search that led to my recruitment to the permanent position. Jan gained the confidence of both the Board of Directors and the Medical Staff. He was extremely helpful to me in negotiating my first CEO engagement and is still a friend of St. Tammany Parish Hospital. We know we can call him at any time for advice, counsel, or assistance. It is not often that you develop a lifelong friendship with your consultant!"
