About Me
I enjoy working hard for things that I believe in. I am comfortable going against the grain to demonstrate that something is possible. I'm a health care skeptic. We as an industry are no where close to where we should be in delivering value. I spend my work days trying to improve this. After hours, I'm happiest outside, in the weather, doing something active with family. Some of my current activities include: -Full-time board-certified Family Medicine physician -Founder and President of BlueSky Health, an innovator in primary care design -Primary Care Leadership Committee, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM), an invited council of about 10-15 health care leaders in Michigan tasked with advising BCBSM leadership on policy and programmatic proposals related to their patient-centered medical home (PCMH), ACO, and value-based reimbursement programs -Population Health Management Champion, Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital, BCBSM Pay-for-Performance Program -Medical Director for the Livingston Physician Organization's BCBSM Physician Group Incentive Program Some past milestones include: -Designed, constructed, operating two new-model primary care clinics using lean, low-overhead, technology-driven design (Houghton, MI, 2006 until sold in 2014;Howell, MI 2012-present) -Houghton clinic in inaugural class of BCBSM PCMH-designated clinics in 2009 and all subsequent years -Houghton clinic selected for Michigan State Medical Society Model Practice Case Study in 2010 (1 of 11 practices selected statewide) -Houghton clinic one of several selected nationally for Institute for Healthcare Improvement/IDEO design project for colorectal cancer screening in 2011 -Houghton clinic featured in Medical Economics, “Patient-satisfaction improvements in small doses”, April 25, 2011 regarding designing an efficient workplace -Top 3 American Academy of Family Physicians 2018 Innovation Fellowship project proposal
