About Us
National Holistic Consulting is building a physician-centered approach to accountable care—one that combines clinical insight, care coordination, analytics, and practical administrative support.
Our goal is to help participating physicians improve outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries without losing the judgment, relationships, and practice identity that make their care effective.
What Guides Our Work
- Physician partnership
- Clinical autonomy
- Coordinated, patient-centered care
- Responsible use of data and technology
- Support for underserved and high-need populations
- Transparent performance and shared goals
Our guiding principle: Better healthcare begins by giving physicians the support and information they need to spend more time caring for patients.
A More Connected Approach to Healthcare
Healthcare becomes harder to navigate when physicians, patients, care teams, data, and support services operate separately. National Holistic Consulting works to bring those pieces together around a shared objective: helping patients receive more coordinated, informed, and effective care.
Our approach is designed around the realities of medical practice. Physicians need useful information, responsive support, and practical workflows—not additional administrative complexity. NHC provides infrastructure that can help participating practices identify care gaps, coordinate follow-up, understand performance, and better support patients with complex needs.
Clinical transformation should strengthen the physician-patient relationship, not compete with it.
Built Around Physician Partnership
NHC believes accountable care works best when physicians are treated as active partners. Participating physicians maintain their clinical judgment and existing patient relationships while gaining access to resources intended to support population health and value-based care.
Clinical autonomy
Physicians continue making care decisions based on their professional judgment and the individual needs of their patients.
Operational support
NHC helps reduce the administrative burden associated with participation, reporting, coordination, and performance management.
Actionable information
Claims-informed analytics and care-gap insights help practices identify patients who may benefit from additional attention or follow-up.
Shared accountability
Participating organizations work toward measurable improvements in quality, coordination, patient experience, and healthcare utilization.
Supporting Patients With Complex Needs
NHC is particularly focused on populations that can benefit from stronger coordination across the healthcare system. These may include patients living with chronic conditions, chronic pain, multiple diagnoses, social barriers, fragmented care, or frequent transitions between care settings.
We are also committed to supporting physicians who serve underserved communities, dual-eligible beneficiaries, and other patients whose needs may extend beyond a traditional office visit.
- Original Medicare beneficiaries
- Patients with chronic or complex conditions
- People experiencing fragmented care
- Dual-eligible and underserved populations
- Patients who may benefit from greater outreach and navigation
Technology With a Practical Purpose
NHC uses technology and analytics to make important information easier to act on. The purpose is not to replace clinical expertise. It is to help physicians and care teams see patterns, recognize opportunities, and prioritize patients who may need additional support.
This can include identifying potential care gaps, reviewing utilization patterns, supporting quality reporting, assisting with patient outreach, and making performance information more understandable.
Technology should serve the care team
We believe technology is most valuable when it reduces friction, supports better decisions, and helps healthcare professionals remain focused on people rather than processes.
Leadership Grounded in Healthcare
National Holistic Consulting’s work is informed by the leadership of Dr. Chanda Macias, a scientist, educator, and healthcare executive with experience across healthcare, regulated operations, patient education, and organizational leadership.
Dr. Macias holds a PhD in Cell Biology and has research experience involving cancer and infectious disease. Her broader work has emphasized education, responsible operations, and helping people make informed decisions about their health. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
That background shapes NHC’s emphasis on evidence-informed decision-making, thoughtful innovation, patient engagement, and systems that support both healthcare professionals and the communities they serve.
Our Vision for Accountable Care
We envision a healthcare system in which physicians have the infrastructure to coordinate care effectively, patients receive clearer support, and organizations can measure progress without allowing reporting requirements to overshadow the human side of medicine.
Through the NHC LEAD Model ACO, National Holistic Consulting is working to create a collaborative foundation for improved outcomes, responsible innovation, and sustainable physician participation in value-based care.
What We Believe
Physicians should be supported, not displaced
Care models should reinforce the role of physicians and give them better tools for serving their patients.
Patients deserve connected care
Important information should follow the patient, and care teams should have clearer ways to coordinate across settings.
Data should lead to action
Reports and analytics are only useful when they help someone make a better decision or take a meaningful next step.
Innovation must remain human-centered
Technology should simplify healthcare delivery while preserving empathy, trust, accountability, and clinical judgment.
Better outcomes require partnership
Meaningful improvement depends on collaboration among physicians, care teams, patients, healthcare organizations, and community partners.
