The Division Chair shall oversee efforts to financially model these programs, make recommendations on adoption, and directly support program management through standard and ad hoc analysis including identification of opportunities for improving value and risk-based performance. The Division Chair will maintain the portfolio of payment reform programs and efforts, assessing and recommending initiatives by payer segment and Mayo Clinic site to be included in a well-supported roadmap.

The Division Chair also supports a wide range of strategic business and clinical initiatives involving innovation. These initiatives may involve design of new payment models to support Mayo Clinic service or site growth strategies, revenue modeling for innovations in care delivery, and supporting revenue pro formas involving diversified businesses and strategic partnerships. This may include assuming risk at a health plan level through joint ventures and start-ups.
