I started 2021 with a new job and a new perspective to add my variety of experiences in the population health community as I joined Olio as the Vice President of Sales. For those not familiar with Olio, it is a software solution that makes it simple for hospital systems, physicians and payers to actively engage with post-acute providers about patient care. The primary reason I’m at Olio is due to conversations I’ve been having with value-based care leaders over the past several years; learning what efforts have been made to improve value-based care, what plans are being made for the future and deficiencies that still need to be addressed.
I came to Olio from naviHealth, where I spent time discussing with health system and ACO leaders how to address one of the most challenging and costly areas of value-based care – the post-acute space. My experiences have allowed me to see how people across the country are thinking about population health and value-based care. I’ve identified common themes of what organizations are struggling with and have seen the variety of ways they are trying to solve their problems.
