In a May 8 news release, the Oakland, Calif.-based health system also highlighted quotes from several national experts about the move:
— “We were all so focused on what will be the next healthcare move of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google that we never saw Risant Health coming!” said Vikas Chowdhry, founder of TraumaCare.AI.
— “Risant (will be) a ‘repository of knowledge,’ with potential for its member health systems to work toward a common goal of lower costs and better access to care,” said Kevin Holloran, senior director at Fitch Ratings.
— “Two of the titans of systems-based care to manage costs and drive measurable outcomes. … My optimism hopes for ripple impacts to drive more hospitals towards value,” said Brett Daniel, MD, chief medical information officer of Optum Washington.
— “That’s a big deal in U.S. healthcare,” said Eric Topol, MD, founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute.
— “Whoa! Kaiser is one of the nation’s leading healthcare organizations structured to reduce costs and improve outcomes. Geisinger is one of the most technologically innovative health systems in the US — driving tons of research. Love to see what comes of this,” Michael Mina, MD, PhD, chief science officer of eMed.
— “The Kaiser-Geisinger partnership creates an enabling path for health systems to move down the journey to value-based care. For me, it was a really exciting development. … I think there are only wins in this for patients,” said Linda Finkel, CEO of Avia.
