Demand for Beacon Partners Services Result in 38% Growth Leading to Expansion of Staff by 55%
Firm continues growth pattern across the board in all practice areas especially as healthcare organizations rely on their ARRA expertise

WEYMOUTH, MA – February 2, 2011– Healthcare management consulting firm Beacon Partners today announced revenue growth of 38% over last year and that they have grown their workforce by 55% in the last twelve months to accommodate the growing needs of the healthcare industry.

“2010 was a year of growth for us across all of our practice areas including strategic planning as well as vendor selection, planning and implementation for MEDITECH, Epic, Allscripts and GE Healthcare,” explains Ralph P. Fargnoli, Jr., president and CEO of Beacon Partners. “Healthcare organizations are relying on our expertise especially as they try to maximize the amount of incentive payments they will receive in accordance with the ARRA. Most are at some stage of implementing EHR technology, but they are seeking direction as to how to best interpret meaningful use and they desire input as to how to best focus their overall strategy.”

“We hire top notch talent, the best of the best, and they are the secret to our success. Therefore, we have a tremendous depth of experience when it comes not only to interpreting the complexities of the ARRA/HITECH and meaningful use, but also in defining strategies for organizational readiness and improved efficiencies that ultimately positively affects overall patient care.”

“Our aggressive hiring mode will continue throughout 2011 as the demand for our expertise continues to grow,” concludes Fargnoli.
