Healthcare Consulting, Strategy & Advisory Services
Rehab U Practice Solutions works with innovative healthcare companies to humanize healthcare. These healthcare consulting projects range from short, simple engagements to longer and more involved projects.
Healthcare is unique, both in the regulatory restrictions, but also in the nuances and value assessments of the various stakeholders. You need someone that focuses on healthcare positioning strategy to ensure that your product, tool, or organization communicates the right thing to the right healthcare stakeholder.
Rafael E Salazar II, MHS, OTR/L (Rafi) brings over a decade of experience working on high-level projects across all four of the various healthcare stakeholders (payer, provider, policy-maker, and patient). He works with your team to ensure that those insights are not only communicated to them, but also employed and embedded in your organization’s workflows, processes, and positioning strategy.
In short, we help your whole organization get focused on the most important thing in healthcare: people – the people who work for your organization, and the people who your organization treats and serves.
Market Penetration Roadmap
Technology, software, apps, and platforms hold the future of healthcare service delivery, clinical outcome management, and revenue diversification and scalability for provider organizations, healthcare payers, and the recipients of healthcare services (patients) alike. It also holds the keys for effective and efficient oversight and management for regulatory agencies and policy-makers.
And it’s getting attention. In fact, most healthcare professionals surveyed report recently taking courses related to technology and tools such as Remote Patient Monitoring.
In addition, over three quarters of healthcare provider organizations surveyed either currently offer, or have plans to implement, virtual service delivery, including remote patient monitoring, telehealth, or other service delivery.
And, aside from the traditional “one-on-one” or synchronous telehealth services and encounters, providers, payers, and patients all seek to explore other methods of delivering or receiving healthcare services virtually; to include asynchronous services and remote patient monitoring.
Given that knowledge, it’s no surprise that the healthcare technology market has experienced an influx in new startups and potential service providers aiming to grab a piece of this rapidly expanding market.
To stand out from the sea of healthcare technology, app, or SaaS companies flooding into the space, you need to craft a tailored positioning message aimed at the ideal targeted stakeholder for your device, technology, or software.
That’s where the Market Penetration Roadmap comes in…

The Telehealth Roadmap™
A Proven Framework for Successfully Implementing Telehealth
The Telehealth Roadmap™ will help you craft a strategy, develop workflows and procedures, and implement virtual service delivery in a way that maximizes efficiency while simultaneously delivering an outstanding patient experience.
The first step is to begin laying the groundwork by understanding the fundamentals of telehealth and virtual service delivery and then crafting basic “tenants” of telehealth for your clinic or organization.
While it is important to understand the differences between virtual service delivery & in-clinic care from a clinical standpoint, you must also consider how implementing virtual care affects clinic workflow, communication, informed consent, and administrative processes.
We help you develop your organization’s workflows (or operational guidelines), standard operating procedures, and processes to ensure the actual delivery of virtual services can occur without a hitch. Then, will help you develop your communication, messaging, and patient/provider education strategy so that you’re able to effectively communicate both the effectiveness & value of virtual service delivery.
