More About Norris G. Turner, PharmD, PhD
President & CEO, THCQ Consulting
Following Dr. Turner's training as a clinical pharmacist and pharmaceutical chemistry scientist, he worked as an executive in the biopharmaceutical industry (at Pfizer, Purdue Pharma, and Johnson & Johnson) for 20 years across clinical development, medical affairs, and market access/quality - which included obtaining a two-year health policy educational certificate.
Dr. Turner has extensive experience with healthcare quality engagements across all payer channels, providers and systems, all areas of pharmacy, and state & federal government including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Defense Health Agency, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and health policy stakeholders.
These multiple areas of expertise position Dr. Turner to lead THCQ Consulting to deliver meaningful value to biopharmaceutical clients, and ultimately to the customers and patients they serve.
Outside of Work: Norris resides in Yardley, Pennsylvania with his wife, Denise, and their three grown children, Victoria, Julian, and Jason, and their dog, Toby. Norris loves running. He only began running in 2010 (and since he's run 3 marathons, a 50k ultramarathon, and many half marathons and other races) but now tries to get in 2-3 miles daily. Other than running, Norris enjoys quality time discussing all kinds of topics with his family and friends, traveling, hiking, following politics, and reading and studying the Bible.
More About THCQ Consulting
What We Do?
Our mission is to help biopharmaceutical clients deliver healthcare quality strategy for market access impact. We pursue our mission with vigilance to the values of integrity, accountability, excellence, and passion.
Many biopharmaceutical companies understand how to translate the realities, challenges, and pain points faced by their customers in the quality-focused, value-based healthcare environment to inform market access strategy.
Some companies do not have the internal expertise to inform what response to take.
THCQ Consulting can help.
Some biopharmaceutical companies do not fully understand how to position themselves strategically against the dynamics of the external quality and value-based care, delivery, and payment paradigm to gain leverage in optimizing market access.
This is also an important challenge to solve.
THCQ Consulting can help.
THCQ Consulting collaboratively works with clients that fit either description above to better enable them to:
- Understand with great specificity the business case at hand related to quality and value-based care, delivery, and performance
- Bridge the identified strategic gap and capitalize on potential health care quality impact and product market access to be realized.
How We Do It?
Getting Grounded on Essential Quality Basics
THCQ Consulting provides an evaluation of the landscape of quality measurement and value-based performance programs related to applicable disease states/therapeutic areas with mapping to provider and payer stakeholders.
Focused/Small Group Engagements with Clients
We ask our clients the right questions to narrow the focus on quality strategy challenges to solve.
Large Group Engagements with Clients
World Café Method – THCQ Consulting works with key stakeholders in client organizations to tap into the collective wisdom and co-creativity that shows up when we intentionally invite the voices and unique contributions of individuals focused on a shared goal to participate. The World Café methodology is a simple, effective, and flexible format for hosting large group dialogue.
Better Brainstorming – THCQ Consulting focuses on questions, not answers, for breakthrough insights.
