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 modelling and simulation applied to real-world data to predict future demand for services to provide organizations insights into how to maintain quality, improve health outcomes and reduce costs, and to properly deploy constrained resources. We provide predictive modeling capable of evaluating complex "what-if" scenarios for both public and private stakeholders. Advanced capabilities and extensive data enable the Center to respond to a wide-range of client needs at the local, regional, national level and international levels, whether from major policy, regulatory, or disruptive changes or events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The Center's focus on key analytic domains relies on a multi-disciplinary team composed of academically trained economists with extensive industry expertise and decades of policy and applied experience in public and private sectors, analytic consultants, advanced industry experts, and predictive modelers. The Center's analytic domains include mergers and acquisitions, regulatory and competition policy, market insight, value-based arrangements, cross-stakeholder and community-level analysis such as economic impact of poor health, population health, value assessment, quantification of patient-centered preferences and digital health. For more on our domains, see https://www.ftichep.com/. Our experts have testified before antitrust and regulatory agencies in the US and internationally, and in state and federal courts on a variety of matters. Center 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. We collaborate with colleagues across FTI Consulting, including strategic communications, healthcare practitioners and experts, and financial specialists.
