NASHVILLE, Tenn. – August 13, 2024 – Pivot Point Consulting, a Vaco Holdings company and #1 Best in KLAS: Managed IT Services firm, announced today that Dr. Nick Patel will join as a Physician Executive Partner. In this role, Patel brings his “patient-first” mindset to Pivot Point’s Management Consulting services with a focus on digital transformation across health systems, academic medical centers, medical groups and the healthcare technology sector.
“This partnership enables us to continue to enhance the client experience and add unique value to our consulting relationships – bringing a game changing mix of clinicians and non-clinicians to our consulting. The peer-to-peer trust a top-notch clinician like Patel brings to our client relationships means greater empathy with providers and their patients,” said Rachel Marano, President & Founder of Pivot Point Consulting. “The success of any transformation – no matter the size – is directly dependent upon understanding impact from the clinical and business perspective. Patel brings a proven track record of bridging business and clinical.”
Patel practiced medicine for 20 years and has held various executive roles such as Vice Chair of Medicine and Chief Digital Officer until he decided to bring his clinical and digital transformation experience to management consulting in 2022 when he founded Stealth Consulting. In addition, he works with top global and U.S.-based healthcare organizations integrating clinical, consumer and operational needs with a digital-forward strategy. He is regularly sought out for speaking engagements, serves on multiple boards and has been regularly recognized as a top digital leader. Patel’s deep experience at the intersection of healthcare and business uniquely positions him to collaborate with Pivot Point Consulting clients to drive meaningful improvements in health outcomes, as well as improvements in the business.
Pivot Point Consulting’s Management Consulting evolution includes digital transformation strategy and execution, as well as Revenue Cycle Management, Enterprise Resource Planning and Episode Payment Models. Patel deeply understands the complexity and effort to shape the rapidly evolving future of digital transformation and the healthcare industry today.
“I’m partnering with Pivot Point Consulting at a pivotal time in the firm’s growth as they help clients navigate and prioritize the opportunities in healthcare today,” said Patel. “I’m excited to bring my ‘patient-first’ mindset to Pivot Point’s fast growing Management Consulting services and tap into their ability to make healthcare healthier at scale. This opportunity enables me to continue to level up outcomes at the systemic level, not just the individual patient level.”
