Physician, Clinician, and Scientist Community

Dr. Jennifer Caspari is a behavioral health specialist and clinician leader in Deloitte’s commercial healthcare strategy practice. Prior to joining the firm, Jennifer spent many years in academic medicine where she designed, implemented, and evaluated integrated in-person and digital behavioral health initiatives in primary care, specialty care, and inpatient settings, attending to clinical, operational, and financial barriers and facilitators to promote the effectiveness and sustainability of whole person care. She has additionally served as a healthcare provider (medical family therapist), educator (teaching physicians and psychosocial providers), and researcher (focused on provider burnout and the use of technology in integrated healthcare settings). At Deloitte, she serves clients in many ways, including assessing and making recommendations to enhance quality of care, developing mental health market entry strategies, and developing programs to support the wellbeing of both consumers and employees. She also spends her time developing behavioral health thought leadership and presenting on Deloitte’s Future of Behavioral Health perspective at national and international conferences. How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte? As a behavioral health provider and builder of multidisciplinary teams, focusing on creating and sustaining strong, healthy relationships has been a large part of my academic medicine career. At Deloitte, creating strong relationships with colleagues and clients and providing the space for my teams to build healthy connections is similarly instrumental for success and wellbeing at work. The humans doing the work are the most important part, and that has not changed as my career and place of work has evolved.

How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte? While I began my career in private practice, I soon transitioned into academic medicine to pursue my interest in clinical practice as well as clinical research and education. Throughout my clinical career, I had the privilege of serving as a physician leader in a number of capacities. Through these opportunities, I came to realize my passion for the transformation occurring in health care. At Deloitte Consulting, I work with executives from across the Life Sciences and Health Care industry who are leading this transformational change. As a clinician, I bring a perspective informed by a blend of clinical and business insights as I help our clients usher in the future of health.

Dr. Felix Matthews is a managing director in the Academic Health/Research Leaders practice and has been with Deloitte for more than 12 years.

His clients are academic health systems, national health plans, and life sciences companies. How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte? I started my career as an academic clinician and principal investigator leading several industry-sponsored innovation studies. The disconnect between health care business management and clinical care delivery became blatantly obvious to me at that time. After careful deliberation, I decided to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School and subsequently transition into health care consulting. I now bring my experience as a clinician, researcher, and entrepreneur to the table when advising health care and life sciences clients. Having been there, done that gives me a differentiated perspective that my clients value.

How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte? Two things about being a scientist translate very easily into consulting: forming and rigorously testing hypotheses and analyzing complex data of different types to draw conclusions. I'm able to do both to help my clients make strategic choices for their organization.

How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte? As a nurse, my care was patient centered; as a nurse-researcher, my thesis was patient centered; and as a consultant, my projects are patient centered. The challenges our healthcare system faces are multifaceted and unprecedented, but one thing remains constant, the patient and their well-being should be integral to our solutions. The work I get to do at Deloitte allows me to bring my lived experiences and passion to the advice and solutions we provide to our clients and ultimately the care delivered to patients.
