Brad Mondschein says Pixel Health’s “secret sauce” is being able to bring many different areas of expertise to bear to meet a healthcare client’s needs.
pandemic began.
“While most healthcare-consulting
groups specialize in either strategic planning or technical execution, Pixel Health companies do both,” company founder Michael Feld said.
In its marketing, Pixel Health claims its companies can “make healthcare better for patients, providers, and administrators alike by facilitating the use of technology, simplifying the pro- cess of using it, and overcoming the cultural and organizational constraints hindering its adoption. We help make the delivery of care better.”
President Brad Mondschein noted that the network’s first two companies,
VertitechIT and baytechIT, “were really about how to coordinate the IT build- out and the provision of IT services to healthcare providers, and make those healthcare providers aware of what needs to be communicated internally and, frankly, even externally about their capabilities.”
With three other companies — Nec- tar Strategic Consulting, akiro, and Liberty Fox Technologies — now in
the fold, “we’ve stepped beyond that — now we’re coordinating beyond the IT department, coordinating with the clinical side of healthcare, and that opens up a whole different range of consulting services we offer to health- care providers,” he continued. “It’s also helped healthcare providers ensure that their IT services are focused so the clinical staff are getting what they need out of IT.”
A Quick Breakdown
The five Pixel Health companies are interconnected in some ways, but each brings unique atttributes to the table.
“I don’t want to say we’re the only company that does it this way, but we think what we do is very unique.”
VertitechIT’s goal is to drive IT transformation for health systems. Its executive and clinical consultants, architects, and engineers design
and implement IT roadmaps in line with the strategic plans of client organizations.
VertitechIT also touts its ability to implement transformational changes for clients at virtually no net new capi- tal expense. As one example, a $2.5 bil- lion health system constructed a three- site, software-defined data center and saved $8 million over previous designs with little to no impact on its budget. Senior consultants also took on interim leadership roles, working to transform the institution’s siloed work culture as well.
Meanwhile, baytechIT is a man- aged service provider (MSP) and value-added reseller — one of the only health-centric MSPs in the country,
in fact. The company operates a call center staffed by healthcare analysts, adept at meeting the unique and often time-critical needs of the clinical environment.
Nectar specializes in applying tech- nology to serve the quadruple aim
of healthcare delivery: delivering the right care at the right time, at the right cost, and improving the clinical experi-
