About The Advisory Board Company
Founded in 1979, The Advisory Board began with a mission to discover best practices in healthcare through rigorous, proprietary research. The firm continues that mission today, specializing in high-end research for clients in the healthcare space and beyond. The firm works with its community of more than 4,500 partner organizations to focus on their specific and shared issues, distill their complex challenges into research-backed insights, and equip them with practical guidance to address their top priorities.
The firm’s research offerings include a subscription membership, which provides its clients with access to more than 300 deliverables per year. The firm’s members can also purchase custom research, in which The Advisory Board gathers data around a client’s specific challenge or priority, conducts a study that spans the entire healthcare ecosystem, and provides strategic recommendations.
The Advisory Board counts more than 2,000 health systems and hospitals, 235 physician and medical groups, 108 post-acute care providers, 211 health plans, 209 life sciences manufacturers, and 38 of the top 40 pharmaceutical organizations among its clients. It provides them high-end research on topics ranging from care delivery, strategy, staffing and operations, and technology and innovation.
Going beyond the research
The Advisory Board offers more than just cutting-edge research to help its clients get ahead. It holds a series of events each year, including summits and roundtables that bring together some of the best minds in healthcare to make connections, engage on high-priority challenges, and spark change and innovation. It also provides its client with expert support, granting them access to more than 200 internal experts who can host presentations on clients’ challenges or even lead workshops to energize stalled projects.
