Cave Consulting Group

Cave Consulting Group is focused on improving the efficiency and quality in the healthcare delivery system. We recognize the need to address all components of medical trend (not just service price discounts), if efficiency and quality are to be improved and trend is to be controlled.

We believe market efficiency and quality will be improved once practitioner and hospital efficiency and quality are accurately measured, and patients have knowledge of--or are directed to--the best practicing providers. We began measuring the efficiency and quality of practitioners' practice patterns in 1991-1992 (see Efficiency and Quality Measurement references). Since this time, we have worked with many leading HMOs, insurance companies, employers, physician-hospital organizations, and third party administrators.

Furthermore, we believe market efficiency and quality will be improved once patients with unstable chronic medical conditions are accurately identified and properly managed.

Doug Cave, the President of Cave Consulting Group, has over 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry. He has served as CEO, President, and COO of several healthcare companies. Doug has worked in the HMO, insurance company, pharmaceutical, and physician-hospital organization industries. He has over 15 years of experience in healthcare consulting to these industries as well as to large employers, employer coalitions, utilization management companies, and disease management companies.
