Interview In Action: Breaking Down the World of Healthcare Consulting with Eric Utzinger


Listen Later

August 13, 2025: Eric Utzinger, Co-Founder and Chief Client Officer at Revuud, tackles the world of healthcare consulting. Drawing from 15 years in healthcare consulting, Eric reveals how the industry shifted around 2013, creating a system where traditional staffing firms often add little value beyond letterhead while charging substantial markups. What happens when technology enables direct access to pre-vetted talent pools? The conversation explores how marketplace platforms can eliminate intermediary costs while maintaining quality control, and why the assumption that higher costs equal better consultants may be costing health systems more than they realize. Eric addresses the critical balance between project success, talent vetting, and transparent pricing in an industry where finding the right IT expertise quickly can make or break major implementations.
