Ascension CEO Talks About Value-based Care with American College of Healthcare Executives

Ascension President and Chief Executive Officer Anthony R. Tersigni, EdD, FACHE, is featured by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) in its quarterly digital platform, "Elevating Leadership," on "the transition from volume to value and Ascension's goal to have most of its business operating under value-based payment arrangements by 2020."

In the recorded interview, Tony talks about Ascension's role as a healthcare transformation advocate. Ascension has made tremendous progress, he says, in bringing together key elements to underwrite and process risk, to manage risk, and to finance risk.

"At Ascension we really put our emphasis on elevating physician leadership and creating dyads of operating and clinical leaders," Tony says. "This model is really about jointly held accountabilities that allow our health systems the ability to create what we call integrated systems of care and implement clinically reliable processes and create plans to really support our strategic goals. For us the patient-physician relationship is paramount to the success of any value-based model, and we're focused on building this relationship."​​
