, President of MCG. “Evidence-based standards of medical necessity and best practice care are constantly evolving. Having the latest research and data at their fingertips helps healthcare professionals improve patient care while managing costs.” Care guidelines from MCG provide fast access to evidence-based medicine’s best practices and care plan tools across the continuum of treatment, providing clinical decision support and documentation which enables efficient transitions between care settings. Eight of the largest U.S. health plans and many hospitals use our evidence-based guidelines and software. Today, our informed care strategies affect over 208 million covered lives. Whether you’re a community hospital trying to reduce 30-day readmissions, a health plan looking to automate prior authorizations, or an EHR partner looking to integrate MCG into your platform, the right combination of guidelines and software is available to meet your needs. – one of the world’s largest actuarial consulting firms. Within Milliman’s environment of actuarial science (statistical calculations of risk), a group of physicians and actuaries assembled the latest evidence-based medical research with best practices of care and clinical guidance to create the Milliman Care Guidelines. The first care guidelines were written by Over our history, hospitals and other healthcare providers also started purchasing the care guidelines as they sought to align themselves with the guidelines U.S. health plans were following. Once providers saw the depth of MCG content, they recognized the inherent value and began using it inside their own institutions to guide care. As many payers and providers began using the material in their workflows, MCG developed software solutions – The Executive Team really listens to opinions from every level. Each employee has a voice that counts in the decision making process. You really are working together to shape the company. MCG is also a great place to develop a career. In a culture where employees are recognized and rewarded for their contributions it’s not surprising why people choose long careers at MCG. In fact, MCG is the longest company I’ve worked for in my entire career and I still love it. I’m excited and what further opportunities I still have to explore here. The culture at MCG is second to none - supporting strong ethical business standards, developing evidence based clinical guidelines and embracing each employee for their strengths and diversity. MCG has provided me opportunities to be challenged and grow through interesting assignments, continuing education, and ability to seek internal opportunities. I began at MCG in 2006 as a Trainer, moved into Project Management and then to manage Strategic and National Accounts. I left MCG in 2012 to seek a unique career opportunity and quickly found I missed the culture and team I left behind. I was given the opportunity to return to MCG after being gone a year and have never looked back. I highly recommend MCG as my employer of choice! Quality and passion are two factors that helped coax me into employment at MCG. Our employees are committed to quality which means we develop solutions that are respected in the healthcare industry. We are passionate about what we do. I witness this passion while working with my colleagues to solve problems and create quality solutions. Passion is evident as our team member’s work with physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers as they apply MCG’s evidence based criteria to real-life patient scenarios. I’m thankful for an opportunity to participate in changing and improving the delivery of healthcare throughout our nation. My favorite things about working at MCG is the people, culture, and opportunities. The intellectual capital and diversity of professional backgrounds of my colleagues provides an exceptionally rich and fulfilling working environment. The MCG culture is highly collaborative and humble, which is extremely unique with the amount of experience, talent, and expertise in its employees. Lastly, MCG encourages innovation and growth, personally and professionally, through unique projects and business opportunities with other Hearst Health companies. I have worked with and for many companies throughout my healthcare career and never have I felt such fulfillment until I joined MCG. MCG offers and supports a work/life balance. That’s BIG for me! MCG also offers excellent opportunities for career growth. I started working with MCG as a contract test engineer and MCG gave me opportunities to advance my career in testing profession, facilitation (leadership role) and now I am a scrum master. In addition, MCG also provided support to take certifications and courses (Project Management Professional (PMP) from PMI.org, CSM certification from scrum alliance, Professional scrum master (PSM 1) from scrum.org and .Net Development Certification from University of Washington). MCG is a workplace that respects one’s knowledge, skill set, and experience in healthcare. As a whole, the company puts forth their commitment to the staff by investing in them as an employee. Staff are mature professionals willing to assist and be part of the company’s overall mission and goals. MCG is committed to their clients by providing terrific support and building relationships at all levels of the organizations. The Company’s client Forum event is a testament to MCG’s investment in both the client and staff. Why work at MCG? The company vibe – which is relaxed, friendly, and flexible. You will work in a company doing legitimately great things to improve healthcare, plus it’s a major star in the Hearst Health family. Also, you get the best of both worlds as you have the opportunity to experience the feel of a mid-sized, Seattle-based tech company with its own unique identity, but you also have access to benefits and learning opportunities through Hearst, our renowned parent company. I strongly believe in the work that MCG does; I feel good about the time and effort I put into my job. My colleagues are consistently some of the most intelligent people I had ever met. Everyone is committed to doing the right thing and believes in the company. But just as importantly, everyone treats you with respect and accepts you as you are; it is a rare environment.
