Research Services

HCMS Research Services specialize in analysis and research, synthesis of findings, and decision support for research service clients. Current research clients include state government, large employers, and several health organizations, including pharmaceutical companies. Research projects are customized to client needs and generally take from four to ten weeks to complete, depending on complexity.

HCMS uses the Health as Human Capital approach that emphasizes a strategic paradigm shift from medical cost management to investment in health as human capital.

The HCMS Health as Human Capital research group is comprised of staff with statistics, mathematics, economics, research methods, epidemiology, medicine, nursing and pharmacy skills.

HCMS research projects use the proprietary HCMS Research Reference Database as profiled below.
