ECG Management Consultants has added a bundled payments practice to expand its service offerings to healthcare providers and payers in the changing reimbursement landscape.
Deirdre Baggot, PhD, MBA, RN, has been appointed leader of the new bundled payment practice. Prior to ECG, Dr. Baggot served as senior vice president and bundled payment leader at a healthcare consulting firm. Dr. Baggot will be joined by Kimberly Hartsfield, former director of commercial bundled payments for Blue Cross of Arkansas, and Tori Manis, an experienced bundled payment consultant.
"Deirdre, Kimberly and Tori bring multiple years of experience and demonstrated value creation for our clients," said Steve Messinger, ECG President. "The bundled payment opportunity is emerging as a critical step on the transformation from volume to value, and the addition of the strongest team in the bundled payment arena is incredibly timely for ECG and our partners."
