Healthcare
Healthcare organizations both large and small face the realization that the Federal Government will be involved--at some level--in all healthcare delivery systems in the United States. The only two comprehensive systems of current Federal healthcare the government has to use as a model are the Military and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA Hospitals). ASI's CEO was a former Air Force Medical Service Officer and can provide highly specialized evaluation and monitoring services that enable healthcare providers to adopt effective change management strategies in the areas of:
- Navigating & preparing for the Federal Healthcare System
- Clinical Operations Management & Practice Management
- Emergency Preparedness/Disaster Management
- Process Improvement/Quality Management
- JCAHO, AAAHC, HIPAA, and other compliance issues
International Trade & Customs
With the explosion in international trade over the past decades, imports into the U.S. and all other countries are accounting for an ever-greater share of the global economy – and the many jobs tied to it. At the same time, supply chain security has become the number one priority for all customs authorities in the world, and especially for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Balancing the needs of trade facilitation yet protecting the health and well-being of its citizenry by preventing biological and chemical weapons, and weapons of mass destruction, from entering the U.S. through its many ports of entry is a daunting task – but ASI has the experience and expertise to address the many challenges inherent in this bifurcated mission. We can help you:
- Conduct risk assessments of your supply chain and trade compliance functions;
- Design and implement cost-saving strategies to maximize compliance with all customs laws and regulations as well as security programs like C-TPAT;
- Create effective internal controls over all aspects of an organization’s global trade function;
- Conduct in-depth training for any specific import/export issue or for overall corporate trade compliance on a country-by country basis; and
- Team with IT professionals to integrate import/export software with an organization’s Enterprise Resource Planning system.
Strategic Planning
It is no secret that a paradigm shift is occurring in business with the recent economic indicators. The “old” way of doing business is out and the new book is being written as we speak.

Here at Advancement Strategies, Inc. we can relieve some of that anxiety by focusing on the core of sound business development and providing your organization an objective analysis of the areas that give a business its heart and culture:
- Organizational Climate Assessment
- Leadership Strategies
- Financial Planning
- Global Positioning Strategies & Market Research
Federal Contracting
At ASI, we provide research, procurement, and administration services for Federal Government contracts. Over $500 billion in contracts are awarded every year with that number projected to increase over the next 4 years. Much of that will be set-asides for small businesses (per government size standards) and we are in a strategic position to assist those businesses in obtaining and administering those contracts as a Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB) Small Business. Having a former Federal Quality Assurance Program Manager involved in your process takes the guesswork out of how to navigate the Federal contracting process.
