Experience
AndoverEcon brings to
each project the knowledge and skills of experienced senior staff and
consultants. Our project teams always include individuals with many
years experience in some of the nation's top research, academic, and
management consulting organizations. This experience is infused into
our projects by the direct and extensive involvement of the senior
researchers and consultants who provide the great majority of professional
time on our projects.
Our strong teams allow us to tackle some of the most
difficult and complex research problems that arise in the health care
field. We employ advanced research methods, as required, to address difficult
measurement issues such as those of case mix and provider performance. We use
economic models to account for the
market implications of the behavioral responses of patients and
providers.
Leadership
As President of Andover Economic Evaluation, Dr. Grannemann brings his
expertise to projects for public agencies, insurers, employers, and the
managed care industry. He has a central role in all projects and
coordinates research teams that may include consultants and staff of
collaborating research organizations.
Thomas W. Grannemann received his Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern
University in 1979. Since then, he has devoted his career exclusively to
research in the health care field: industry studies, cost analysis, economic modeling,
program evaluation, and policy analysis. He has directed research and
evaluation projects under contract to federal and state governments,
insurers, managed care organizations, and pharmaceutical companies.
He has held positions at Mathematica Policy Research, the University of
Colorado, and the Workers Compensation Research Institute.
Project Teams
Custom-tailored project teams are a major strength of AndoverEcon® research and consulting services. We build teams with core professional staff supplemented
with experts from around the United States and locally in the
Boston/Cambridge metropolitan area.
Our consultants usually have years of experience in top
national/international research and consulting organizations. Many
of our consultants are university faculty or affiliated with major medical
institutions.
Teams are constructed for each project to bring the best minds, skills,
and knowledge to bear on customer problems. We develop proposals to meet
customer needs with a multidisciplinary team that may include experts in
economics, medicine, nursing, epidemiology, management, data systems, law,
actuarial science, statistics, market research, medical records, and/or
other social and biological sciences.
