HMC helps ministries, national laboratories, and public health partners modernize reporting systems, reduce data latency, and strengthen surveillance decision-making through interoperable digital infrastructure and strategic advisory services.
from frontline data to national decisions.
Health systems do not struggle because teams are not working. They struggle when critical information has to move across disconnected tools, limited connectivity, fragmented workflows, and multiple levels of authority.
When reporting slows down, national teams lose time. Signals arrive later, resources are harder to target, and decision-makers act with an incomplete view of what is happening on the ground.
HMC helps close this gap by strengthening the infrastructure, workflows, and advisory systems that keep public health data moving from local reporting to national action.
HMC Health Management Consulting is a public health systems consultancy and digital innovation firm.
We partner with national authorities across the Caribbean and Latin America to strengthen how public health information moves from frontline facilities to national surveillance directorates, enabling timely action, informed policy, and improved population health outcomes.
Our solutions are designed for sustainability beyond project cycles: interoperable by design, built for low-connectivity environments, and aligned with government-led digital transformation priorities.
We design infrastructure that improves how health systems function, focusing on open, interoperable solutions rather than isolated applications.
Projects HMC is developing today, alongside national authorities and sector partners.
A two-phase, multisectoral study launching in 2026–2027 across four high-priority health regions: Duarte, Santiago, Hato Mayor and San Juan.
A decentralized, offline-first synchronization tool, in active development, built to remove data latency from national surveillance networks.
Every engagement starts by understanding the system as it is, then strengthening the workflows, infrastructure, and decision pathways that help data move.
We start inside the system: its facilities, workflows, constraints, and realities.
We identify where reports slow down, where data fragments, and where visibility is lost.
We design interoperable, government-partnered solutions built to last beyond a project cycle.
Data moves. Decisions arrive in time. Capacity stays after we leave.
HMC is led by professionals with deep experience across public health systems strengthening, epidemiological surveillance, strategic information, donor compliance, and digital health implementation in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Medical Doctor and Health Economist with over 15 years in global health systems strengthening, health financing, and epidemic preparedness, including leadership of Global Health Security and HIV programming portfolios.
Dr. Karina Hernández A. is a Medical Doctor and Health Economist with over 15 years of experience in global health systems strengthening, health financing, and epidemic preparedness. She has directed multi-million-dollar portfolios in Global Health Security and HIV programming, working alongside ministries of health, multilateral donors, and national institutions.
Her work spans health financing strategy, program design, and the operational leadership required to translate policy into measurable population health outcomes. At HMC she sets the strategic direction of the practice and leads engagements with national authorities.
Public health specialist and epidemiologist with senior experience across FHI 360, UNICEF, and USAID programs, focused on epidemiological surveillance, early warning mechanisms, and health project management.
Dr. Elvis Báez is a public health specialist and epidemiologist with senior experience across FHI 360, UNICEF, and USAID. He specializes in epidemiological surveillance, early warning mechanisms, and health project management under USAID/USG regulations.
His expertise covers the design of surveillance workflows, the harmonization of reporting indicators, and the practical work of moving accurate data from peripheral facilities to national directorates. At HMC he leads technical delivery across surveillance and reporting engagements.
International development leader with nearly a decade of experience across USAID and Peace Corps programs, focused on strategic information, monitoring and evaluation, and donor compliance.
Abel de la Cruz is an international development leader with nearly a decade of experience within USAID and the Peace Corps. He specializes in strategic information, monitoring & evaluation, and federal acquisition compliance.
He brings rigor to the operational and administrative foundations of HMC’s work, ensuring that engagements are well-governed, compliant, and accountable. At HMC he oversees administration, M&E frameworks, and partner reporting.

HMC Health Management Consulting is a public health systems consultancy and digital innovation firm. We help ministries of health, national laboratories, and public health partners strengthen how health information moves from frontline facilities to national surveillance directorates, using interoperable digital infrastructure, surveillance and notification systems, and strategic advisory.
We work with national authorities across the Dominican Republic, the wider Caribbean and Latin America, and with partners in the United States.
Four core capabilities: Digital Health Infrastructure (interoperable, offline-first reporting platforms and secure architecture), Surveillance & Reporting Systems (workflow redesign, indicator harmonization, and real-time data), Institutional & Strategic Advisory (digital transformation roadmaps, technical advisory, and regulatory alignment), and Data Quality & Validation (data quality assessment, validation rules, and verification workflows).
Ministries of health, national reference laboratories, surveillance directorates and epidemiology units, public health institutes, and programs coordinating multi-level reporting across regions.
Yes. Our infrastructure is interoperable by design and engineered for low-connectivity settings, including offline-first tools that keep data flowing from rural and peripheral facilities and synchronize automatically once a connection is available.
Surveillance Bridge is an offline-first application HMC is developing to remove data latency from national surveillance networks. It captures data at the point of care and synchronizes automatically with the national pipeline as connectivity allows, so reporting continues in facilities that do not have a reliable connection.
An RDQA checks whether reported health data is complete, consistent and traceable back to source records. HMC runs these audits and puts in place the validation rules and verification workflows that keep the numbers reliable between audits, so institutions can act on their data with confidence.
Yes. HMC works with national authorities across the Dominican Republic, the wider Caribbean and Latin America, and with partners in the United States.
