tPF launches website

tPF, a New York-based operations and management consulting firm specializing in health care organizations, has just launched its website -- tpfnow.com.  "This is a working, living, document, so we anticipate adding content to this website every 2-3 weeks," explains David Fitzsimons, Leader of thePiecesFit.  Richard Radoccia, Ph.D, a key member of the tPF team, is finishing up a white paper on ACOs that will soon be added to the site.  More web content in the works includes case studies of recent client engagements, which other tPF members are compiling as we speak.  The Director of Marketing at tPF, Annette Racond adds: "we want this to be a compelling site, not just a portfolio repository."  This will be achieved to some extent by ultimately positioning the site as an information gathering tool under the leadership of George Manderlink, Ph.D, Director of Research at tPF.  George explains: "we want to make tpfnow.com the "go to" site for health care administrators when they need strategic and tactical ideas for coping with the US Health Care Reform Act." 

Please visit tpfnow.com for timely and helpful information on health care organization operations and management. And stay tuned for valuable content to come.
