Providence St. Joseph Health: Driving value-based patient care, quality, and cost efficiencies

Dr. Ari Robicsek is Chief Medical Analytics Officer (CMAO) at Providence St. Joseph Health. His passion is the use of data science to improve care quality, efficiency and consistency. Initiatives he has led have included predictive modeling to target high risk patients, marketing analytics (e.g. A/B testing) to improve patient outreach and the development of a data architecture that allows large-scale measurement of healthcare value (i.e. outcomes and costs) in a manner that resonates with clinicians and allows optimal practices to be pinpointed. This last item is an area of particular focus at Providence St Joseph Health.

While at NorthShore University HealthSystem, his team’s work was key to a number of awards, including placing first in the 2013 Healthcare Informatics Innovator Awards, ranking in the 2014 Information Week Elite 100, being named to the 2016 CIO Magazine CIO 100, and becoming the first system in the US to earn ambulatory HIMSS Analytics Stage 7. In 2017 he was one of Health Data Management's Top 25 Physician IT leaders.
