bcc: Consulting was founded in 2004 with the goal of integrating the art and science of healthcare. Despite healthcare's dependence on technology, far too few organizations understand how to integrate new technologies into clinical practice - beginning with challenges related to system evaluation, selection, and contract negotiation, and finally culminating in system implementation. Over the last few years, client necessity has required us to expand our offerings into business operations, primarily related to financial management and strategic planning, but also encompassing key tactical projects, such as sales and marketing campaigns. The bottom line: results. We support a broad range of activities to help our clients succeed. We are willing to start small and expand our relationship on a success-based model. As a result, most of our business comes from existing clients and by word of mouth.  David S. Brooks During David's tenure with bcc: Consulting, he has led numerous client engagements, published multiple articles and research papers, presented at key trade shows and has consulted to IBM's Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) prototype project.Prior to founding bcc: Consulting in 2004, David established a U.S. sales and marketing operation for a foreign-based, industry-leading provider of healthcare integration software. Despite rapid and significant improvements in software sales as well as market presence and positioning, the company opted to withdraw from the U.S. Today, the core of BCC stems from that successful sales and marketing venture. From 2000 through late 2003, David helped a mobile healthcare informatics company, MercuryMD, grow from an apartment-based start-up to the industry-leading mobile solutions provider to hospital organizations. In addition to performing the initial financial modeling used to secure venture financing, David served as the Company's Vice President of Business Development. In this role, David oversaw all strategic partnerships and relationships, and more significantly developed and articulated the company's long-term strategic roadmap. MercuryMD was acquired by Thomson Financial (NYSE: TOC) in 2006. Before MercuryMD, David worked as an associate for a middle-market investment banking firm where he assisted privately-held companies in evaluating strategic and financial alternatives, including mergers and acquisitions. David earned a BS in Honors English from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and served in the U.S. Air Force as a cost analyst and Captain. He earned his MBA from the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, with a concentration in Finance. |
