This is what OpenAI’s ChatGPT has to say about it:
The rates for consulting work in the Health Care Technology field can vary widely depending on factors such as the type of work being performed, the level of expertise required, and the geographic location of the consultant.
That being said, according to industry reports and surveys, the average hourly rate for a healthcare technology consultant ranges from $150 to $300 per hour. This rate can be higher for more specialized or complex work, such as software development or data analysis.
In terms of pure analysis, healthcare technology consultants may charge rates in the range of $150 to $250 per hour, while rates for software development can range from $200 to $300 per hour or more, depending on the level of expertise required.
It’s important to keep in mind that rates can also vary depending on the consultant’s level of experience, reputation, and demand for their services. Additionally, some consultants may charge project-based rates rather than hourly rates. It’s always a good idea to get multiple quotes and compare rates and services before selecting a healthcare technology consultant.
I have to say that this matches my research and planning when I was setting up ThinkStorm. Our rates vary and can be less expensive if the service/project is longer term (such as a retainer for fractional CTO type work) or if the project is part of a FOSS (open source) community and the code (if any) will be contributed.
