Commercial Clients

ATW Health Solutions is committed to revolutionizing healthcare delivery systems in the commercial sector. Leveraging our expertise and mission-driven approach, we support clients in transforming healthcare delivery systems by improving healthcare quality, safety, and health equity. Our range of services caters to hospital systems, integrated delivery networks, associations, and academia.

  • ATW is recognized nationally for building and implementing quality and safety programs and initiatives. Our experts collaborate with multi-stakeholder groups to reduce and eliminate hospital-acquired conditions and improve overall outcomes.

  • ATW is a leader in aligning equity/diversity and inclusion strategies with PFE program design and evaluation. Our demonstrated expertise in operationalizing community engagement needs with PFE strategy leads to improved outcomes for all. We have delivered PFE education and training at the national and local levels, including to staff, the organization committee, and other stakeholders.

  • Our team is comprised of national experts on the topic of health disparities in communities of all compositions. We are deeply experienced in developing healthcare policy focusing on Minority Health Initiatives and Vulnerable Populations.

  • Communication is critical to reducing medical harm, eliminating disparities, and improving patient safety and quality. ATW Health Solutions works at the intersection of patient and community engagement to translate meaningful messaging to communities, patients, people, and caregivers. Our team employs research experts trained in Experience-Based Co-Design and stakeholder engagement. Together, our team has used our Engaged Health Center of Excellence (EHCoE) model to understand and solve complex systems concerns. Our EHCoE model has played a vital role in research, learning, outreach, and education. The Center promotes innovation and establishes a fundamental standard within our organizational structure to advance improvements in your patient engagement and community engagement strategies. We do this primarily via research and education.

    Our Center provides critical research infrastructure missing in the field today, fosters team collaboration, and facilitates learning and communication. The system relies heavily upon including patients in all our work, performance measurement, and shared research, including systems for data gathering and analysis, instrumentation, and computing, and developing the targeted audience panels to advance learning.

  • ATW delivers strategic planning for hospitals and health systems, organizational care process redesign, education, and training using the equity lens to drive equitable improvement. Our work uses a population-health performance improvement framework to identify and reduce disparities. We have managed numerous projects (remote and on-site), delivering strategies that eliminate disparities and improve outcomes for all people (hospital-based and community-based). Our implementation scientists and equity practices are laser-focused on partnering with care delivery entities and networks to develop and implement quality and safety plans that drive measurable results in improving equity. We use a Human-Centered Design approach to understand the key constraints unique to each program and create co-designed processes and structures that will enhance outcomes. Our team can assist in building and implementing an equity quality improvement strategy.

Our Strategic Approach to Transforming Healthcare

Our collaborative engagements with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on seminal initiatives like the Partnership for Patients (PfP) and the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) have underscored our dedication to improving healthcare outcomes and leading large-scale improvement efforts. These initiatives have been crucial in refining patient safety, enhancing the quality of care across the board, and strategically integrating patient voices and programs that eliminate disparities at the helm of transformation.

Our role as subcontractors with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Action Networks has enabled us to partake in vital quality and safety improvement efforts that have advanced patient engagement and patient activation within the health system’s delivery. This collaboration has facilitated significant progress in identifying and implementing best practices and evidence-based interventions, advancing patient safety and care quality.

Our technical support work assisting multiple Quality Improvement Network-Quality Improvement Organizations (QIN-QIOs) underscores our commitment to bridging health disparities and fostering health equity. Our approach to working with QIN-QIOs highlights our belief in equitable healthcare access and quality for everyone, regardless of economic or geographic status.
