Travis Turner, MBA RT
Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration for Mary Washington Health Alliance
Travis Turner, MBA RT (R) (CIIP) - is currently the Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration for Mary
Washington Health Alliance in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Mary Washington
Health Alliance (MWMD) is a regional integrated provider network (IPN)
located throughout the Rappahannock region of Virginia, between Richmond
and Washington, D.C., our doctors, hospitals and other medical facilities
work to provide superior healthcare and value through an integrated partnership
among patients, providers and community resources. MWMD was recently approved
into the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for 2015, the Alliance
partners with more than 400 Physicians across more than 40 Specialties
and many healthcare facilities across the region. MWMD cooperatively outlined
a physician-driven solution to achieve the three-part aim of better health,
better care and lower cost in order to benefit the patient, the providers,
and the community stakeholders to begin to create a clinically integrated
health network.
The Alliance has also gone live in 2015 with the Bundled Payment for Care
Improvement Initiative under the Phase 2 model. This is for ALL 48 episodes
of care within the BPCI for up to 90 days post-acute care accountability
as well. Other initiatives include but not limited to securing Commercial
‘Value Based’ contracts which align with the MSSP Strategy.
The risks associated with these contracts are limited by design however
are the foundations towards positioning the Network to accept risk based
contracts in the future.
Prior to that he served as the Executive Director of Clinical Integration
for seven years at Cayuga Medical Center; utilizing the PHO Governance
structure as the foundation for collaboration. Cayuga Area Physicians
Alliance (representing over 180 physicians) and Cayuga Medical Center
sought informal approval from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under
Mr. Turner’s guidance, which allowed for the implementation of a
successful Clinical Integration Program (CIP). This better aligned the
Network and payers to collaboratively discuss ‘value driven’
contracts that focused on the quadruple Aim at the time, before this term
was even defined. Also implemented in parallel to the CIP, was the NCQA
recognition for 16 PCMH Practices; which aligned the Network for the evolution
of HealthCare and potential ACO formation if necessary.
