Lanie’s work at ECG focuses on partnering with hospitals and health systems to identify and evaluate opportunities to improve performance at the enterprise, hospital, and practice levels. Most recently, she led an initiative at a large New England academic health system to improve patient throughput by reducing LOS by nearly 25% through discharge management efforts and post-acute care planning. She also worked with a health system in South Carolina to design an enterprise strategy and command center model for patient alignment across two distinct markets. Additionally, Lanie helped design and implement a strategic plan and financial model for Cooper University Health Care that led to the investment of $10.7 million in centralized patient access initiatives to support an additional one million calls and 290,000 patient visits each year.
