Speaking of change, I’m excited to share that after 4.5 years leading the Innovation and Value Initiative, I’m handing the reins to a new CEO and focusing on patient and stakeholder engagement for that thriving organization. I look forward to exploring new projects that help people and organizations have lasting impact on health. Let’s talk!

Person-Driven Outcome Measures Help Achieve Equitable Outcomes

Health care quality measures traditionally take into account things that are easy to measure, such as adverse events, medication adherence, and trends in blood glucose levels. These measures are often not linked to what matters most to patients and, thus, are inadequate to achieve true high-quality, person-centered care—care based on and guided by a person’s values and preferences.
