The thinking behind TPS

Experience that
challenges the model.

Dan’s experience as a founding member of Kforce and founder of RPS helped shape embedded clinical delivery models. TPS builds on that experience with a belief in dedicated people and deeper partnerships where research happens.

The idea carried into TPS: invest in the people closest to the work and keep the wider organization connected to their success.
