About Studer Group
Studer Group is an outcomes based healthcare consulting firm devoted to teaching evidence-based tools and processes that organizations can immediately use to create and sustain outcomes in service and operational excellence. Partner organizations see clear results in the areas of higher employee retention, greater patient and customer satisfaction, healthy financials, growing market share, and improvements in various other quality indicators.

Mission and Vision
Studer Group's mission is to make health care a better place for employees to work, physicians to practice medicine, and patients and families to receive care.
Our vision is to be the intellectual resource for healthcare professionals, combining passion with prescriptive actions and tools, to drive outcomes and maximize the human potential within each organization and healthcare as a whole.
Harvesting Best Practices from an International Learning Lab
CEO Quint Studer and Studer Group coaches teach, train, and speak to thousands of leaders at healthcare organizations worldwide each week, both on-site through coaching engagements and at industry-wide speaking engagements. This ongoing "in the trenches" dialogue provides ample opportunity to spot best practices in action from "first mover" innovators at many organizations. These are then harvested and tested in other organizations, refined, and shared with all healthcare organizations through peer-reviewed journal articles, Studer Group publications, and products to accelerate change.
Because we find that reducing leadership variance lies at the very heart of creating a consistent culture of excellence, Studer Group also helps organizations to hardwire great leadership. The firm retains a specialist to harvest effective tools and techniques and then share best practices that efficiently turn into results.
In July 2004, Studer Group also announced its Alliance for Health Care Research, which studies best practices using data from Studer Group's national learning lab to validate and quantify their impact and application at all health care organizations. The Alliance conducts rigorous qualitative and quantitative studies and invites participation by both client partners and non-partners of Studer Group.
