“Tactical, High Performance Healthcare Advisory”

Healthcare is an ever-evolving industry, full of constant regulatory, fiscal,

legal, technological and delivery change and improvement. Minutes separate

success from failure, life and death.

Having the resources, expertise and ability to stay ahead of the curve in this

environment is challenging, but paramount. Even more difficult is having the

foresight to predict change, retain profitability and constantly improve on

performance, efficiency and clinical outcomes.

Klerity delivers these resources in a tactical, timely and actionable manner.

Combining proprietary internal data, expertise and speed to implementation

we provide organizations with the support and flexibility needed to promote

best-practices, become industry leaders and sustain clinical excellence.

We are advisors, partners and a useful knowledge base for our clients.

About Klerity

Klerity is an advisory firm with a unique focus, much like the spelling of it’s name.

We have spent the bulk of our careers inside of hospitals, working as employees,

consultants, advisors and clinicians. Our experiences have taught us well, including

the best approaches to profitable, innovative and constructive healthcare delivery.

We are structured to provide critical resources for a variety of problems, initiatives

and services. Most importantly, however, is the manner in which these services are

rendered. We are timely, fact-based and accurate. Our solutions are measurable, and

our engagements are succinct.

We base our progress on fact, and utilize an internal data visualization tool to do so.

At the core of our philosophy is proper decision making protocol, use of accurate

data and implementing the steps to sustainable and ongoing improvement.

We aim to increase the value in your organization by acting as partners and advisors.

By helping you increase market share, clinical outcomes, community relationships,

physician and patient satisfaction and ongoing initiative success, we create stronger,

more efficient and effective organizations.

“Pronounced \����kler-ə-tē\, clarity comes from the latin word claritat,

meaning: “the quality or state of being clear.”

Tactical Resource Teams

Klerity designs each engagement with maximum impact, but

minimal disruption to current initiatives and projects. We do

this in team format, ensuring the most appropriate, and

knowledgeable team members for each task.

Specialty Engagements, called KPR’s are led by a team leader

whose primary expertise falls into one category. Other team

members are selected by qualification, length and necessity.

Tactical Resource Teams have one goal: to provide invaluable

assessment, fact-based review, critical and actionable data, and

the requisite steps to implementation for each project.

Teams strive to provide the resources for critical outcomes,

growth and initiative success, while utilizing and maximizing

those already in hand. We act as partners, encouraging internal

champions: both employees and physicians - and highlighting

success.

Our engagements are timely, with the unique ability to provide

critical and immediate impact (Speed to Impact). They are

actionable, with ability to provide action steps and a project

framework. They are measurable, providing useful and tactical

data. They are succinct: there is a measurable and achievable

end-point.

Fact-Based and Outcomes Driven

We use a customized dashboard tool, dubbed Klerview to

aggregate, analyze and present relevant data. In concert with

internal data from finance, operations, lab, admissions, billing

and collections, we overlay with chosen external market data to

create metrics for decision-making protocol.

This tool allows for Fact-Based, accurate and measurable out-

comes for our projects, as well as valuable initiative tracking,

patient outcomes and data review. This tool has no impact on

existing systems and is not a data warehouse: simply an

overlay on existing infrastructure. Additionally, Klerview is not

cost-prohibitive, and does not add costly IT purchases or capital

expenditure to your bottom line.
