City of Hope, a leading national cancer research and treatment organization, was carrying an eight-figure quarterly consulting spend with inconsistent results. Purpose Health replaced the incumbent model with flexible, certified resourcing and SLA-driven managed services, cutting costs 38% while putting consultants on the ground twice as fast.
City of Hope was spending eight figures every quarter on its incumbent consulting vendors, with inconsistent quality across resources and no reliable way to compare one engagement to the next. Too often, the answer to a delivery problem was more people on the ground rather than automation or continuous improvement, so costs kept climbing without a proportional gain in outcomes.
The organization needed quality, certified consultants who could take on specialized projects and merger-and-acquisition work, and it needed a resourcing model built to reduce overall spend rather than add to it, a foundation the health system could grow on.
We built a resourcing model that scaled up and down with the client's actual workload, replacing a fixed, expensive bench with capacity that matched demand.
Certified Project Managers and Analysts were matched to specific projects and brought proven experience from comparable hospital systems rather than generalist staff.
Minimal contracting requirements and fast SOW turnaround let engagements start quickly, with an open-door policy across every level of Purpose Health.
We implemented our EHR Managed Services model for operational support, with a zero-downtime transition from project mode to steady-state support.
Defined SLAs for EHR support enabled quick, proactive evaluation of additional support needs and kept end-client satisfaction in view.
Across onsite and remote engagements, spanning multiple technologies and modules.
On the ground in half the incumbent vendor's ramp-up time.
From signed SOW to consultants on the ground.
Certified technology and domain leaders drove delivery end to end.
An eight-figure quarterly spend on incumbent consultants, with inconsistent quality and rising headcount.

City of Hope chose Purpose Health over its incumbent consulting vendors for a combination of all three:
Capacity that scaled up and down as needs changed, instead of a fixed, one-size headcount.
Consultants with proven experience in comparable hospital systems.
Fast SOW turnaround, so engagements could start on the client's timeline.
Across every level of Purpose Health, from delivery staff to leadership.
When vendor costs keep climbing without a proportional gain in outcomes, flexible resourcing replaces the fixed bench.
Certified consultants matched to specific projects, on the ground in days rather than weeks.
A zero-downtime move from project mode to SLA-driven managed services, with satisfaction kept in view.
