Waves Consulting Gives Away Consulting Expertise Free to Health Systems Nationwide

New self-service tools put Waves’ financial and operational analysis directly in the hands of pharmacy and health system teams at no cost through December 31st

VENICE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Waves Consulting has released two core consulting capabilities to the public, at no charge. The self-service digital tools let health systems and pharmacy teams run the same kind of financial and operational analysis that has historically been delivered only by consulting firms through paid client engagements, work that would typically carry a price tag in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

While Waves has multiple tools in development, the two now available are a specialty drug margin calculator and a call-center staffing planner. Both are live at wavesconsulting.com and free to use through the end of the year. Neither tool requires the user to hand over their underlying data to Waves; every input stays with the person using the tool, and so does every output.

“Every team we work with knows they’d make a better decision with the right information in front of them, but they don’t always have the time, budget, or bandwidth to bring in an outside firm to run that analysis,” explained Nathan Thompson, a long-time pharmacy industry executive at Johns Hopkins and co-founder of Waves. “Giving these tools away is our way of helping close that gap and empowering teams to make better decisions on their own.”

Pricing clarity for specialty pharmacy
The first tool tackles a problem that normally requires a finance team, a spreadsheet, and a few uninterrupted days to determine which specialty drugs are profitable. Users load in their own pricing, cost, and volume figures, and the calculator returns a full profitability breakdown, drug by drug, so leaders can quickly gauge where margin is being made and lost.

“In previous positions, I had to construct this analysis myself, drug by drug, and it could take days to generate useful insights,” said Chris Corbett, who spent more than twenty years working across finance and analytics roles inside major health systems before designing the calculator for Waves. “Now it takes minutes, and a pharmacy team doesn’t need a full finance department on staff to get the answer.”

Eliminating staffing gaps and scheduling guesswork
The second tool helps match staffing to actual call demand, a persistent operational headache for pharmacy and support call centers. Teams enter their expected call volume, hours of operation, and service goals, and the planner maps out coverage hour by hour, flagging exactly where more staff are needed and how many.

Thompson, who built and ran a large pharmacy service center for years, believes this tool is critical. “When a staffing plan doesn’t match real call volume, it adds stress to teams and leaves patients stuck waiting on hold. Getting this kind of clarity used to be near impossible without robust data and tools. Now any team can get actionable answers, down to the number of phone lines needed, in just a few minutes.”

Waves has additional tools in development and plans to expand its library in the months ahead. Those interested can find both the planner and calculator, as well as sign up to hear about future releases, at wavesconsulting.com.
