Hospital/Health System

CFA works exclusively in cardiovascular (CV) services with clients including hospitals and health systems, clinics, physician practices and healthcare-related firms.

CFA’s staff has conducted more than 350 cardiovascular services improvement/development engagements in the U.S. and abroad.

Conservatively, through the CFA team’s consulting engagements, CFA has had the opportunity to positively impact the quality, accessibility and scope of cardiovascular care available to more than 25% of the U.S. population.

Physician Practice Consulting

Senior CFA team members have managed cardiovascular physician practices (cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery) and as consultants, have advised client physician groups in the areas of group mergers, transitioning from independent private practice to employed positions, strategic market positioning, operations improvement and many other aspects of physician practice development and management.

International Consulting

In many countries, the provision of health care services, and in particular, cardiovascular services, has not reached the level of international best medical practices

Clinical capabilities and outcomes, management expertise and organizational function vary greatly around the world. CFA’s objective is to help bring these organizations up to par with current best practices, often with the ultimate goal of attaining JCI accreditation.

 The CFA staff is one of the most experienced teams in the U.S. in the assessment, development and implementation of interventional cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery services.
