Shelkin Consulting specializes in helping healthcare providers choose the best information technologies for their particular needs, as well manage successful implementations. Healthcare providers are struggling to reduce medical errors and cut costs at the same time" says Pete Shelkin, founder of Shelkin Consulting, LLC.

Then, when reviewing potential solutions, Mr. Shelkin applies his broad technical knowledge and healthcare experience to help clinical administrators separate viable solutions from industry hype. Finally, Shelkin Consulting provides expert project management services to assure that new solutions are installed successfully and according to plan. You can select the best systems, and have a comprehensive value analysis showing all of the benefits" says Shelkin, but without proper execution all your plans will be for naught".
