PHOENIX, AZ - Dec 16, 2019 - Accumen Inc., the leader in healthcare performance, has launched the Healthcare Performance Insider, a monthly publication and website, providing operational, clinical and data insights from across the healthcare industry. Healthcare Performance Insider features both original content and trending topics at www.healthcareperformanceinsider.com.

“We are always looking for new ways to share our experts’ key learnings with our peers at hospitals and health systems, commercial laboratories, and health plans,” said Accumen President and CEO Jeff Osborne. “We believe that sharing knowledge, especially when it comes to improving operations, clinical services, and data management, helps to build stronger healthcare communities. Those improvements lead to better patient experiences, which benefit us all.”

Alongside current industry news, Healthcare Performance Insider presents “Spotlight” interviews with executives from different industry segments and timely opinions on hot topics in “Expert Excerpt.” Highlights also include coverage of educational opportunities, links to current events, trending metrics and patient/disease awareness weeks. 

In her inaugural column, Carolyn Burns, MD, President Elect for the Society for Advancement in Blood Management (SABM) and a member of Accumen’s Medical Advisory Council, describes components, concepts, and characteristics that are key ingredients to success. She challenges readers to incorporate them into their leadership style.

On a related theme, Theresa Mouton, Market Chief Financial Officer with Steward Health, discusses how her mantra “Results Earn Respect” has shaped her career. She credits her success in building strong and capable teams to two factors: looking at margin improvements as opportunities to invest within the organization, both with personnel and technology, and showcasing the possible.

The next issue of Healthcare Performance Insider will be released on Tuesday, December 17, 2019. Interested parties can sign up to receive a complimentary subscription to this new monthly publication at www.healthcareperformanceinsider.com. Subscribers will also gain access to Accumen’s webinar and podcast series.
