EDS is a highly experienced world class international hospital administrator, project planner, medical equipment procurer, developer and advisory company in the global market today. EDS provides individualized total solutions while working in close collaboration with the developers, owners and hospital boards of the healthcare facilities it manages. Unique to EDS is its experience and success with Private-Public hospital Partnerships (PPP) and with academic teaching hospitals.

 

Each EDS-affiliated hospital and doctor maintains their own individuality, yet has within its grasp the resources of a global healthcare organization. Our business philosophy and management experience enable us to deliver global resources and work hands-on with local doctors. Whether a client is building a new hospital, looking to develop a health plan, increasing the hospital census, expanding the reach of their hospital’s market, EDS is total solution. EDS has proven itself to be the total solution for hospital owners looking to improve their hospital’s financial performance, quality of care, or patient experience, and for investors seeking a provider with the experience of developing new hospitals.

 

EDS has been successful in various markets and locations. Many of EDS’s managed hospitals share in the challenges currently being faced by healthcare providers such as difficult operating environments, lack of quality healthcare, scarcity of human capital, and while attempting to manage all of the financial aspects. EDS has successfully led the hospitals it manages to meet these challenges and has placed them on solid footing financially.

 

Improving the organization's ability to deliver high-quality healthcare

 

For every physician and healthcare organization, the most important goal is to ensure the best possible result when managing patient care. EDS acknowledges that business systems such as information services, administrative structure, and staffing patterns are key elements of the care process. Our U. S. and global experience enables us to develop these systems within a local context so that they have a favourable impact on the care patients receive. In addition, qualified clients of EDS have access to the resources provided by EDS’s clinical alliances with the Department of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP), through their consulting division, Kendall Regional Medical Center, and CES University and other internationally renowned medical centers and teaching hospitals. These clients have the opportunity to enhance their local clinical capabilities and expand their physicians’ access to world-class education.

 

Improving the organization's ability to capture patient volume and improve revenue

 

EDS works in highly competitive healthcare markets. Attracting new patients directly, or through domestic and international insurance contractual schemes, requires a strong image and the ability to deliver on quality care and patient safety. It also entails identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats the institution faces, the development of strategic plans that overcome barriers to success, taking advantage of the opportunities identified, and the successful implementation of strategic plans once they have been approved by the institution's board of directors. EDS's leadership includes experienced, successful, and strategic thinkers with the ability to analyze a market situation and recommend business initiatives that will take advantage of the situation.

 

Improving the organization's ability to understand and manage its costs and cash flow

 

Hospitals and other healthcare institutions are extremely complex organizations. Determining the cost of providing services, and collecting the revenue associated with those services, is rarely easy. Moreover, even the most astute business leaders often find that their efforts to control costs have unpredictable and unsatisfactory results because their information systems do not provide a reliable basis for decision making. EDS offers its clients the insights and information necessary to understand and manage costs, control expenditures, and develop financial plans that will support successful implementation of the business strategy.
