The Chartis Group Launches the Chartis Physician Leadership Institute

Institute dedicated to consulting & research around physician alignment & high performing medical groups

CHICAGO, IL – August 11, 2016 — The Chartis Group, a national advisory services firm dedicated to healthcare, announced today that it has launched the Chartis Physician Leadership Institute (CPLI). CPLI brings together senior physician executives with unrivaled expertise from the nation’s leading health systems, academic medical centers, medical groups and health plans. It is dedicated to advancing health system and medical group performance through innovative solutions that drive physician alignment and engagement, and achieve the highest levels of organizational and operational effectiveness.

In the value-based healthcare environment, the role of physicians and physician leaders becomes even more vital to the success of the system. Physician engagement and alignment with enterprise strategy and operational goals are key differentiators in the performance and success of leading health systems in the new era of healthcare.

“Every aspect of health system strategy and performance is directly influenced by physicians and requires their leadership,” said Dr. Mark Werner, leader of the newly launched CPLI and the firm’s National Director of Clinical Consulting. “Simultaneously, physician groups and networks must be well managed, high-performing and able to drive care transformation, for they are the key drivers of success in a value-based world.” He adds, “With our team of senior physician executives, CPLI will play a formative role in helping to advance the industry’s thinking and approach to physician alignment, leadership and performance — enabling stronger outcomes and the market-elevating performance necessary in the new healthcare.”

At the core of the new institute is a groundbreaking framework on physician alignment and its interplay with physician leadership, organizational constructs, operating models, enterprise economics, governance, adoption and change management. “We are enormously excited,” said Ken Graboys, CEO of The Chartis Group. “We have brought our clinical advisors together, under one banner, for a shared purpose – to create a thriving, interdisciplinary vehicle for thought and practice leadership, where our clients’ and CPLI’s physician executives can truly engage and drive healthcare transformation.”

CPLI is championed by Dr. Mark Werner, National Director of Clinical Consulting; Dr. Thomas Graf, National Director of Population Health Management; Dr. Mark Wenneker, Principal, Strategy and Physician Alignment; Dr. Robert Schwartz, Principal, Informatics and Technology; Dr. Mark Van Kooy, Principal, Clinical Performance Excellence; and Dr. Frederick (Rick) van Pelt, Associate Clinical Principal, Advanced Performance Solutions.
