Lumina Health Partners Joins ECG Management Consultants
Lumina Health Partners has joined ECG Management Consultants, a leading healthcare consulting firm. The group, including Lumina’s cofounders, Daniel Marino and Lucy Zielinski, will integrate with ECG’s Payer Strategy and Contracting Division. The partnership brings even greater depth to ECG’s managed care expertise, particularly in value-based care, enhancing the firm’s ability to drive stronger alignment between providers and payers.
For nearly 10 years, Lumina has been a trusted adviser to hospitals, health systems, and medical groups, helping them improve performance and succeed in value-based care arrangements. Lumina also helps organizations navigate complex population health, analytics, and technology challenges by combining strategic advisory services with deep clinical and operational expertise.
“Having just received multiple Best in KLAS awards in this space, we are proud of what we have accomplished together with our clients and will continue to add depth and breadth to keep pace with demand,” said Chris Collins, ECG’s CEO. “Dan, Lucy, and the Lumina team are not new to us and are highly respected in the market, so the decision to integrate was relatively easy and very exciting for both parties.”
Much like ECG, Lumina emphasizes collaboration in its client work, partnering with leadership teams to develop customized strategies that align with an organization’s culture and needs. Combined with ECG’s national scale, multidisciplinary expertise, and tech-enabled solutions, the partnership represents a highly complementary service offering for clients navigating value-based payment environments.
“We’re excited to join ECG because our philosophy at Lumina—meeting providers where they are on their value-based care journey and tailoring our support to their capabilities and goals—pairs perfectly with ECG’s approach to every engagement,” Marino said…

Elsevier Announces Definitive Agreement to Acquire Mytonomy to Bring Enhanced Patient Engagement Solutions to Healthcare Providers
Acquisition to Expand Elsevier’s Portfolio of Advanced Healthcare Solutions with Enterprise Cloud Platform, Broadcast Quality Video, and End-to-End Patient Journey Engagement
Elsevier today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mytonomy, a leader in video-based patient engagement solutions that will complement Elsevier’s Clinical Solutions portfolio. Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary regulatory closing conditions.
Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare is a configurable, enterprise Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that securely integrates clinically validated patient education videos, enterprise content management, survey tools, and direct-to-patient communications seamlessly within a healthcare system’s electronic health records. The platform automates patient journeys within clinical workflow, driving personalized engagement and extensive real-time analytics delivered within the patient portal and across multiple channels.
The company’s platform drives impressive results. For example, surgery patients in the CMS pathways are watching 20+ minutes per session. Additionally, 73% of patients surveyed attribute the Mytonomy video viewing across the journey (pre- and post-procedure) as helping them adhere to their care plans.
According to Elsevier’s latest Clinician of the Future report, many clinicians believe most patients will self-diagnose online in the next two to three years rather than see a clinician, raising concerns about misinformation as AI continues to advance in healthcare. Combining Mytonomy and Elsevier’s complementary content and capabilities strengthens Elsevier’s patient engagement capabilities, which deliver standardized written and multimedia education integrated directly into EHR workflows, helping health systems to enhance patient engagement and understanding, improve outcomes, and streamline clinical efficiency.
Omry Bigger, President, Clinical Solutions at Elsevier, said, “This acquisition will unlock important synergies across our clinical content, technology, and healthcare expertise. By combining Mytonomy’s innovative patient engagement platform with Elsevier’s trusted information and insights, we will…
