Progress and Hope for a Much Better Spring

IS Communications All Caregivers

On February 17, we had one of our largest-yet IS & RESO Open Forums. Thanks to the over 1,900 who joined us to hear updates and asked questions of our execs. It was also very inspiring to hear RESO’s efforts carrying on our Mission with their work on supportive housing.

I hope you saw my message on Monday about the launch of our new quarterly peer-nomination IS & RESO Awards program. The new SMIle Awards will help us honor individual caregivers and teams who demonstrate our IS & RESO principles of Simplify, Modernize, and Innovate, lead with excellence, and, of course, live our values and Mission.

During my update on Open Forum, I had shared a little bit about the exciting announcement of our Truveta data consortium launching with 13 health systems nationwide. Our work on our own health data platform, as well as its integration with other massive data sets can drive tremendous improvements in our care and our approach population health and is one of our key priorities . . .
