Dr. Bassett has served as chief medical officer of Xsolis since January 2013, pioneering the company’s “Care Level Score” alongside the data science team, a proprietary measure combining clinical expertise and machine learning to provide a numerical representation of appropriate care status for each patient. Under her leadership, Xsolis has grown from a handful of employees to approximately 250, now serving more than 600 hospitals and health systems and 24 health plans nationwide. The company’s physician advisor services program has earned “No. 1 Best in KLAS” recognition for five consecutive years, most recently in 2026, and more than two-thirds of provider clients are now connected with one or more payer partners on Xsolis’s shared AI platform. Dr. Bassett received a gold Stevie Award as “Most Innovative Woman of the Year – Healthcare” in 2025, has published in numerous scientific and trade journals, and serves as an active voice on AI governance through her work with the Coalition for Health AI and NCQA’s working group on AI in healthcare. She also personally established an initiative resulting in women making up 54% of Xsolis’s workforce, more than 50% of leadership roles and 35% of technical roles.
