Hal Wolf Joins The Chartis Group as a Leader in Information and Digital Health Strategy
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 03, 2015 -- The Chartis Group announces that Hal Wolf has joined the firm as a director and member of its leadership team. Mr. Wolf will lead the firm in supporting providers and healthcare organizations with the development of integrated information and digital health strategies.
Hal Wolf is known across the healthcare industry as a true innovator. Before joining The Chartis Group, Mr. Wolf was Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Kaiser Permanente’s Permanente Federation representing more than 16,000 physicians. There he was engaged in the development and implementation of: critical care delivery strategies; data management and governance; population care management environments; implementation of unique innovations and large scale programs that impacted end-to-end operations. After his 10 year tenure with Kaiser Permanente, Hal worked internationally with healthcare systems and hospitals developing strategic solutions and advising digital health startups and investors
Mr. Wolf has contributed his unique approach and insights to the birth of the digital health era, combining the traditional enterprise strategy with an end-to-end organizational view; all while keeping the patient as the central focus. He is considered a leading authority on integrated care models as well as product development, marketing, distribution, information technology and innovation implementation.
“Hal’s distinctive experience, particularly in consumer and patient engagement, offers our clients direct access to the exact forward-thinking, vanguard ideas needed to deliver on the future promise of healthcare,” says Ken Graboys, CEO of The Chartis Group. “How the industry cares for patients outside the walls of the hospital is critical to realizing total health. Hal understands that and knows how to achieve it.”
“Healthcare systems are moving in multiple speeds toward the intersection of information enablement of their business models and the personalization of patient care. New investments in information and digital platforms are at minimum 7-10 year commitments, which means a forward looking view is critical to avoid reinvesting in the same systems tomorrow you are designing today,” says Hal Wolf.
Mr. Wolf is the Vice-Chair Elect of Healthcare Information and Management Systems (HIMSS) and a Board member of the International Care Delivery Alliance. He is a visiting professor for Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Instituttet at the University of South Denmark and for the Center for Innovative Medical Technology at the Odense University Hospital in Denmark. He also served as a board member for the Patient@Home European Union initiative that develops new products for home care while supporting the end-to-end acute care continuum.
Hal Wolf began his career in the entertainment and media industry at MTV Networks in distribution and marketing and then transitioned to Time Warner as a key architect in the development of content, research and user interface during the creation of video on demand and broadband. His contributions to technological advances in the media industry and his intense focus on creating the best consumer experience have been transformative.
