Strategic Services and Planning

Brim offers hospitals expert consultation and guidance throughout the planning process. As a part of each planning engagement, Brim professionals analyze market data, interview board, medical staff, and management team members, perform a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis, work with the hospital’s strategic planning committee to plan the retreat, develop consensus, and complete the plan. Strategic services facilitate the planning retreat and develop a draft plan.
