Ember Consulting Group is an Atlanta-based consulting firm that helps healthcare organizations make sense of policy, technology, and partnerships, and bring the right people together to act on them. We work across four practice areas:

• Health data and interoperability strategy: TEFCA and network readiness, integration roadmaps, health tech go-to-market, and partnership development.

• Health policy and regulatory strategy: legislative and regulatory tracking, policy analysis, comment letters, and compliance review.

• Convening, coalitions, and advocacy: convening design and facilitation, stakeholder mapping, coalition building, and advocacy campaigns.

• Strategic communications and thought leadership: content strategy, ghostwriting, executive thought leadership, and message development.

Most engagements draw on more than one practice, because the hardest problems in health rarely sit in a single lane. Every engagement is led by senior people who have done the work.

Yes. Ember offers fractional leadership for health tech companies that need senior expertise without a full-time hire. Current roles include:

• Fractional Head of Product Partnerships

• Fractional Interoperability and Data Strategy Lead

• Fractional Head of Policy and Government Affairs

A fractional leader works as part of your team for a set number of days each month. They own a defined scope of work, join your leadership meetings, and represent the function internally and externally.

Engagements typically start at three months.

An advisor gives counsel. A fractional leader does the work. With our Senior Strategic Advisor retainer, you get strategic guidance, introductions, and on-call support. With a fractional engagement, we own the function: building the partnership pipeline, leading the interoperability roadmap, or running your policy strategy.

Most of our clients are digital health companies, health IT vendors, and healthcare organizations working through data exchange, partnerships, or policy change. We also take on select food systems projects, including regional food hub feasibility studies and business modeling.

Most clients start with a Discovery Diagnostic, a three to four week project that includes a landscape scan, stakeholder map, and opportunity memo. From there, we scope a larger strategy engagement, a fractional role, or an advisory retainer. We work in phases with not-to-exceed pricing, so you know the cost before each phase begins.

A Discovery Diagnostic starts at $8,000. Go-to-market and partnership strategy engagements typically range from $35,000 to $75,000. Advisory retainers start at $7,500 per month. Fractional engagements are priced by role and time commitment.
