I’m excited to share that ECG has entered into a strategic partnership with Simpliphy, a leading cloud-based software solution for physician compensation, contracting, and administration. This collaboration highlights once again our commitment to blending purpose-driven consulting with tech-enabled, next-generation solutions to bring greater value to the market.

By combining ECG’s decades of deep expertise in the physician enterprise space with Simpliphy’s innovative platform, we’re creating a fully integrated, provider-centric solution that health systems are seeking. Together, we will empower our clients to manage compensation with greater speed, precision, and clarity—ultimately helping them recruit, retain, and reward their most valuable asset: the healthcare professionals who care for patients.
