BOSTON, MA—September 5, 2024: ECG Management Consultants, a leading healthcare consulting firm, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Azra AI, a health technology firm that harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) and workflow automation to accelerate the identification and treatment of cancer. The partnership expands the service offerings of ECG’s Center for Advanced Oncology, the nation’s largest dedicated consulting team focused on helping healthcare organizations transform and advance cancer care in the communities they serve.
Health systems are facing growing pressure to expand access to cancer care, improve patient outcomes, and bring down costs—all while maintaining financial sustainability. ECG’s Matt Sturm, partner and co-leader of the Center for Advanced Oncology, sees the partnership with Azra AI as a key step toward helping systems achieve those goals.
"Azra AI's innovative end-to-end solution complements our mission to drive accelerated improvements, and better cancer care," said Matt Sturm. "By integrating their AI solution with our operational and strategic expertise, we can help oncology programs better serve their communities through enhanced access to cancer care. Together, we can make a real difference for oncology providers and their patients."
Tennessee-based Azra AI offers a comprehensive oncology platform that analyzes pathology and radiology reports, identifies cancer diagnoses and suspicious incidental findings in real time, and alerts caregivers immediately so they can get patients to treatment sooner. CEO John Marshall expects that the alliance with ECG will enable health systems to effectively manage the increasing demand for cancer care, navigate its complexities, and put the patient at the center of every decision.
“We're excited to partner with ECG,” Marshall said. “Their deep understanding of cancer care operations and commitment to patient-centered care aligns perfectly with our goal of leveraging AI to enhance cancer care at every juncture—from suspicion to survivorship. By combining top-notch consulting with technology tailor-made for health systems, we truly believe we're giving hospitals, their oncology service lines, and their patients the best opportunity to thrive.”
