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.

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.
