Chartis

Chartis—also known as The Chartis Group—is the largest independent U.S. healthcare advisory firm specializing exclusively in management consulting and advanced analytics for hospitals/systems/providers. Founded in Chicago in July 2001 by Ken Graboys et al., it now employs over three thousand professionals nationwide with offices across major U.S. cities. Its services span strategic planning through implementation—including digital transformation/EHR optimization—and are delivered to more than nine hundred provider organizations annually. In recent years it has been recognized as the Best Overall Healthcare Management Consulting Firm for five consecutive years by KLAS Research. The company does not develop drugs or devices nor operate any R&D programs typical of biotech/pharma firms—it instead advises those who do or who deliver care directly.
