MCA Consulting Partners ("MCACP") provides hospitals with a broad range of consulting services. This list of comprehensive services is designed to assess the operations of the hospital and design the management plan that best meet the objectives of the hospital's Board of Trustees or Directors. The services are primarily provided by placing key management personnel on site, usually consisting of the CEO and CFO. This may be modified by the existing expertise at each hospital.
The hospital consulting services are provided through a contract that spells out distinct phases. The first phase of focus will be on the immediate crisis that gave rise to a change in administration.
