Schrudder Performance Group (SPG) Description of Services

SPG is a broad based, general management consulting firm. SPG is essentially a group of role-up our sleeves consultants working alongside clients day-to-day to solve their business problems.

Besides our capability to partner with clients on the issues that are of foremost concern to them, I wanted to particularly make you aware of our experience in healthcare and HIPPA. The SPG HIPAA Compliance Solutions Division brings broad-based industry perspective to our customers. We have developed service offerings to assist healthcare organizations in achieving HIPAA compliance including:

· HIPAA EDI Transaction Business Analysis

· HIPAA Privacy and Security Business Analysis

· HIPAA Business Performance Analysis

· HIPAA Compliance Solutions Implementation Programs

Our experience includes partnerships with Siemens Corporation, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, Aventis Bio-Services, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans, Humana, and Henry Ford Hospital.

Through business process improvement and cost benefit analysis, we are able to help clients recapture cost expenditures related to HIPAA compliance by initiating an effective Change Management component into their HIPAA projects.

Joe Ziegler, Director of our HIPPA Practice, and I can are available to provide more detail.
