Partnerships that build healthier enterprises
Chartis helps leading organizations of all types structure, execute, and capture the benefit of successful transactions—our work includes some of the largest-scale and most significant partnerships over the past several years.
Expertise across the partnership continuum
We bring a proven approach to successful partnership development, supported by a multidisciplinary team of professionals with extensive consulting and industry experience.
Key to our success was collaboration. We also worked from the beginning to set forth clear goals and commitments that focused on delivering value to patients, caregivers, and the community. Both put us in a position to succeed as we carried the work forward on our own.”
From partnership vision to fully integrated: How Chartis helped form Beth Israel Lahey Health
Chartis helped form Beth Israel Lahey Health from earliest strategic partnership discussions through integration.
Expertise across the partnership continuum
The pace of partnership activity is increasing, and the range of affiliation models is expanding. The consolidating healthcare landscape and the increasing influence of new entrants are breeding new forms of competition, accelerating transaction cycles, and prompting organizations to assess partnership options that both create strategic advantage and achieve new levels of performance.
Capturing value across new and existing partnerships requires expertise across the full partnership continuum. Our teams support leaders through partnership strategy development, deal structuring, transaction execution, stakeholder communications, pre- and post-merger integration, technology evaluation and enablement, and ongoing performance optimization and value capture.
