• Fry Consultants was called upon to assist a community focus on the needs of its senior citizens. More than 70 persons participated in a task force, representing 33 community-based senior service organizations, that met every 4 weeks or so during a five month period. The result was a report that has spawned several on-going implementation initiatives.

• A 290-bed midwestern health system had a large number of disparate services for the elderly, but was losing market to a well-organized competitor with fewer services. Developing an inventory of services and working through a multi-disciplinary team, Fry Consultants facilitated development of a cohesive continuum of care that encompassed health system, community and physician geriatric services. The result was increased market share, geographic market expansion and improved, more accessible services for the aging population.
   

• A large northeastern hospital was viewed by senior services organizations in the community as a worrisome competitor. Fry Consultants guided a 50-member city-wide task force through a six-month consensus-building process to establish a community-wide approach to properly position seniors in the continuum of care, to improve the effectiveness of local healthcare delivery and to provide the basis for unified grant solicitation and use.
   

• Fry helped to establish and implement a geriatric health and resource center as part of an integrated delivery system. The Center relies on physician referrals and has a unique Medicare code from the intermediary due to its specialized nature.
