OneAnother Health
Clinical validity is the easy part. Making it reimbursable, adoptable, and scalable is the work.
OneAnother Health is an independent healthcare strategy and advisory practice founded by Erik Abel, PharmD, MBA. We work in the gap between what clinical science can do and what the healthcare system will recognize, cover, and pay for.
Most advisors work in one lane. The work here runs clinical strategy, commercial strategy, and product strategy at the same time, because that is where adoption, coverage, and revenue are actually decided.
How We Work
Three engagement paths.
Each path is calibrated for a specific kind of strategic problem. All three thread clinical credibility and business strategy into a single coherent operating story.
Project Consulting
Defined-scope strategy work in market access, reimbursement, evidence design, and commercial model architecture.

Strategic work that translates into outcomes.
Engagements where senior strategy work shaped what came next. Active client engagements are described by category, not by name.
Catalyst Engagement
Caption Health to GE HealthCare
A OneAnother Health strategic advisory engagement that led to Erik's subsequent full-time executive role at Caption Health. During that tenure, Caption was featured in the Digital Medicine Society's Integrated Evidence Plan and regulatory pathway case study frameworks, and the company was acquired by GE HealthCare following its Series B.
Active Engagement
Specialty Pharmaceutical Market Access
Strategic advisory for a specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer in the antiarrhythmic category, combining reimbursement strategy with clinical and commercial positioning, plus content built for both clinical and economic audiences.
Active Engagement
Cardiovascular Diagnostic Commercialization
Fractional senior strategy partnership with a cardiovascular diagnostic technology company spanning clinical narrative, commercial enablement, economic framing, and partnership development.
Who You Work With
Erik Abel, PharmD, MBA
Engagements are led by the founder. Erik Abel is a healthcare transformation executive with more than two decades across payer, provider, MedTech, and digital health. He has built clinical operating models, led evidence and market access strategy, and carried AI-enabled diagnostics from product through national commercial deployment.
He served as Vice President of Clinical Strategy and Innovation at Caption Health and then at GE HealthCare following the acquisition, where the diagnostic services footprint scaled from 11 to 44 states. Earlier he was Director of Clinical Transformation at Highmark Health, a vertically integrated enterprise serving 5.6 million members, and Clinical Transformation Officer at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
That combination is the practice's core differentiator. Clinical credibility earns the room. Commercial and product fluency is what makes the strategy executable once you are in it.
