Rajeev Kapoor Joins A.T. Kearney, Inc. as Partner in Health Practice
NEW YORK, NY, Feb 04, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney announced today that
Rajeev Kapoor has joined the firm as Partner, bringing broad and deep
experience in both strategic and operational improvement across the
healthcare services industry. Mr. Kapoor's background, which is rich
in traditional performance improvement, business restructuring and
cost-structure innovation experience, broadens the capabilities and
reach of A.T. Kearney's Health Practice, placing A.T. Kearney at the
vanguard of healthcare industry turnaround. Mr. Kapoor will be based
in A.T. Kearney's New York City offices.
In order to direct the healthcare industry toward a more
self-sustaining path, Mr. Kapoor's work at A.T. Kearney will focus on
the nexus point of patient, provider, payer and pharma. With his deep
knowledge of healthcare cost restructure, Strategic IT and
patient-centric care coordination -- as well as A.T. Kearney's
world-class capabilities in sourcing -- Mr. Kapoor believes that the
entire model of U.S. healthcare can be transformed, thereby realizing
the fundamental goal of current initiatives toward healthcare reform.
Mr. Kapoor notes, "Service for its own sake, and funded by a
bottomless well of insurance, is no longer a sustainable model. It
now has to be about outcomes." Mr. Kapoor points out that healthcare
service companies need to respond to the increasing demand from
increasingly well-informed patients, to make relevant and value-based
treatment choices. The demand for value-driven healthcare will push
healthcare entities to demonstrate effectiveness of care and
rationalization of cost. Healthcare companies have an opportunity to
respond to these demands by taking a tightly collaborated approach
across the healthcare ecosystem to deliver performance-driven
personalized services seamlessly through multiple channels.
Observes David Hanfland, Partner and Head of A.T. Kearney's Health
Practice, "A combination of rapidly changing technology and evolving
consumer behavior is making the traditional healthcare service
provider models obsolete. Our clients are looking for new business
models that are both more in line with their customers' needs and
more effective in the use of their resources." He adds, "Kapoor's
breadth of experience and insight into healthcare payers and service
providers positions him ideally to develop powerful and creative
solutions for our clients."
Mr. Kapoor's operational experience has taken him through multiple
engagements throughout the world. Much of this work has targeted
sustainable cost reduction and growth strategies for healthcare
organizations. Mr. Kapoor has been a speaker at numerous healthcare
conferences. Formerly at Maja Equity Partners, Mr. Kapoor has also
held positions as Managing Director of Healthcare with Verizon
business and Co-Chair of the Yale Health Ecosystem, where he worked
on healthcare policy and reform.
