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 400 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.
