Company Overview

Vision Statement

Company OverviewCave Consulting Group, Inc. (CCGroup) is a software and consulting company focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness/quality in the healthcare delivery system. We recognize the need to address all components of medical trend (not just service price discounts), if cost-efficiency and effectiveness are to be improved and trend is to be controlled.

We believe market efficiency and effectiveness will be improved once practitioner and hospital efficiency and effectiveness are accurately and reliability measured, practitioners are informed of their performance results, and patients have knowledge of—or are directed to—the most efficient and effective practicing providers. Finally, we believe market efficiency and effectiveness will be improved once patients with unstable chronic medical conditions are accurately identified and properly managed.
