DCA took us from one contracted DIO, supervisor of GME and CME administrative support, to a team of highly qualified directors of GME, CME\/Faculty Development, two Program Directors, with plans for adding two Program Coordinators, and an IT\/Marketing and Finance Manager. The opportunity to identify partnership opportunities, foundation discussions and growth of simulation medicine, as well as effective positioning of academic medicine has been a major success.  Aligning scholarly activity and library resources, along with growth of simulation has provided an opportunity to showcase how we share a community-based hospital network with the addition of academic medicine.\n<br><br>\nRaising the bar, establishing a presence, and defining a path toward high quality, world-class patient care -- this is what DCA has helped HonorHealth accomplish in this period of time.

These Programs appeared to be highly competitive in their resident recruitment, financially and resident retention challenged, and philosophically different from the Corporate Mission. The process was weighted heavily on input from both hospital campuses, focus groups participation, survey and interview analytics, MEC and medical staff involvement, and an alternatives and financial impact analysis. \n<br><br>\nThe professional comportment of the DCA Team and their demonstrated core expertise provided confidence to those involved that the knowledge and experience was \u201cin the room\u201d and yet the elasticity in the process was informed by careful listening.  We knew the DCA Team was tasked with a difficult engagement. They came prepared, facilitated meetings with structure, fact, and opinion, and provided unparalleled survey and financial analytics.  This process brought rigor, reliability, and reality to strategic direction recommended for the integration of our Programs.\n<br><br>\nSimultaneously, DCA was asked to assist in restructuring recommendations for the Division of Academic Medicine. This conversation resulted from organizational changes and needs that emerged from recent Corporate merger activity. Academic Medicine required a new direction that would be aligned with System service lines and the need for specialty and subspecialty physicians.  \n<br><br>\nWe valued DCA\u2019s in-depth knowledge and expertise in not only the program, operational, and financial components of Graduate Medical Education but the inextricably linked accrediting association and federal funding agency otherwise known as ACGME and CMS. DCA\u2019s experience enables client work product customization that is content specific, personalized, and scalable for each system and each market.\n<br><br>\nSince 2010, DCA built a long-standing relationship with the AMITA hospitals in the provision of GME and Research strategic, operational, and financial advisory services. DCA has now become an invaluable resource to the larger merged entity of AMITA Health and continues to provide expert advice and direction to our emerging Academic Medicine Division.\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Matthew Brown, MD<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">Senior Vice President and Chief Academic Officer AMITA Health \u2013 Chicago, IL<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b2bccc elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"0b2bccc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">We engaged DCA to look into the possibility of starting a robust Graduate Medical Education program in our large community hospital in the suburbs of Chicago.

They demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of what it takes and brought a wealth of experience to the table.  They stuck to the agreed upon time lines and worked collaboratively with our hospital and system teams.
