Crowell Health Solutions turns one and to celebrate is launching its own blog, Trends in Transformation. Below CHS recaps what the team accomplished in its first year and what the consultancy looks forward to achieving in 2023.

It’s hard to believe that 12-months ago we launched Crowell Health Solutions (CHS), an opportunity for our experienced practitioners to work on digital health innovations and improvements to health care models. We’re so proud of all we’ve achieved in our first year, and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share what we have in store for 2023!

What a Year!

In 2022, CHS was out and about… sharing knowledge and meeting with companies to learn how to partner and support our innovative clients in 2022! From hosting the Crowell HealthTech Forum, taking part in numerous webinars, conferences, and podcasts, and hosting health care industry executives for a dinner in Austin, Texas—Crowell Health Solutions stayed focused on growing the business and serving our clients.

CHS also grew the team! Our health care policy consultants and intern, Allison Kwon, Eunice Lalanne, and Arielle Carani joined CHS in September 2022.

What to Expect in 2023

We are expanding the company’s expertise in the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with health care. With the recent release of the White House AI Bill of Rights and other action by the Administration, we look forward to helping health care providers, health tech companies, payers, and other innovators to advance AI use and navigate the complex and dynamic regulatory and policy landscape surrounding AI/ML technologies.  

Last year, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2023 (CAA23) extended a number of COVID-19 PHE-era waiver flexibilities, including the Acute Hospital Care at Home and telehealth and virtual care initiatives, maintaining access to quality care for Medicare beneficiaries. The CHS team aims to provide expert advice on new regulatory developments related to innovative quality care to our health care clients in the coming year.

We have been tracking and advising clients on the dynamic changes in state and federal law involving health data–including privacy, access, interoperability, and secondary use of data. The CHS team is working with clients to support compliance and to leverage the changing rules and gaps to support new products and services. We also continue to help organizations accelerate the adoption, use, and reimbursement for digital technologies, including virtual care and patient engagement tools, to better engage patients and members and to improve the quality of care and lower costs by using data, analytics, and AI.

Finally, CHS looks forward to launching its ACO Compliance Consulting and HIPAA Compliance services. We aim to support organizations looking to build compliance programs and staying compliant with the onslaught of new regulations through providing environmental and risk assessments, compliance plans, trainings and counseling.

Last, but not least…

As part of our one-year anniversary, we are also thrilled to announce that we will be launching a Crowell Health Solution blog, Crowell Health Solutions: Trends in Transformation. The Trends in Transformation blog will be your go-to source for the latest policy developments in health care innovation, transformation and more! Be sure to subscribe to by clicking here.

We are looking forward to what 2023 has in store for CHS, and we proudly continue to provide the action-oriented solutions you need to achieve your strategic goals.
