McKinsey’s healthcare practice partners with private and public healthcare leaders to make healthcare better, more affordable and more accessible for millions of people worldwide, while simultaneously improving quality and outcomes. Through capabilities spanning advanced analytics, digital strategy and transformation, payer and provider operations, Medicaid and Medicare strategy, medical cost management, pharmacy services, performance transformation and provider revenue excellence, the firm works collaboratively with governments, payers, providers and life sciences organizations to deliver measurable impact. Committed to rigorous research and system-level change, the company created the Center for US Healthcare Improvement and the McKinsey Health Institute, a nonprofit-generating entity founded on the belief that humanity could add up to 45 billion extra years of higher-quality life over the next decade. Recent impact includes eliminating more than $13 billion in global healthcare waste and inefficiency in one year, expanding insurance coverage to nearly two million people across the U.S., Europe and Asia–Pacific, reducing emergency room wait times by up to two hours and ambulance diversion by up to 80% across hospitals in 15 U.S. states, and improving prenatal care for more than 400,000 women through outcomes-based maternity payment models. With more than 1,700 healthcare consultants worldwide serving clients in 70-plus countries and speaking over 100 languages, McKinsey combines deep clinical, analytical and operational expertise at global scale. Nearly half of its consultants, analysts, engineers and partners are women. Supported by an annual investment of more than $200 million in learning and approximately 4,400 development programs, alongside comprehensive medical coverage, retirement contributions, parental leave, family-forming support, flexible work models and a global alumni network of over 60,000, the company allows colleagues to build lasting skills and have a measurable impact across the healthcare ecosystem.
