Mr. Rutherford retired as CFO of Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA in May after a decade in the role. He spent a total of 34 years with the health system.
Ensemble President and CEO Judson Ivy said in a Feb. 3 news release that Mr. Rutherford has a “proven history of driving meaningful results for healthcare providers while navigating the complexity the industry faces today.”
“His expertise aligns perfectly with Ensemble’s mission of delivering a frictionless revenue cycle and exceptional patient experiences,” Mr. Ivy said.
Boston-based Mass General Brigham’s Chief Information and Digital Officer Jane Moran joined Ensemble’s board of managers in October.
Ensemble manages more than $37 billion in annual net patient revenue, according to the release. The RCM company struck partnerships with several health systems last year, including Lewes, Del.-based Beebe Healthcare, Roanoke, Va.-based Carilion Clinic, and West Reading, Pa.-based Tower Health.
