Summary
Dr. Jaewon Ryu, CEO of Risant Health, emphasizes the need to shift U.S. healthcare from a predominantly hospital-centric system to a proactive, preventive model known as value-based care. Risant Health, a nonprofit organization initiated by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, aims to expand value-based care through partnerships with community-based health systems. Geisinger Health System joined Risant in early 2024, and Cone Health is set to follow upon regulatory approval. These health systems will maintain their regional operations while benefiting from Risant Health’s resources to enhance patient-centered care practices, moving away from episodic treatment towards comprehensive health management.
