At the Carilion Clinic health system in Roanoke, Virginia, Stephen Morgan, M.D., senior vice president and CMIO, is helping to lead transformative change, as Carilion plunges ahead with public and private accountable care initiatives
At the 600-physician Carilion Clinic integrated health system, Stephen Morgan, M.D., senior vice president and CMIO, is helping to lead transformative change along a number of dimensions. To begin with, the Roanoke, Virginia-based Carilion organization joined the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for accountable care organizations (ACOs) in January 2013, and that step in itself has helped to spur the development of more coordinated approaches to care delivery and the acceleration of the creation of IT foundations to support the ACO financing and delivery model.
