Jose Ponce Vega, DBA, FACHE, division administrator, Cardiovascular Medicine, The Ohio State University, recently participated in the program, saying he had done multiple leadership development sessions over the years, but none have been as valuable as ACHE’s Executive Program.

He provides tactical guidance for developing effective population health programs, and he answers many questions about value-based care models.
Topics covered include the following:
- The elements of value-based, population health-driven care.
- Why health equity must be the focus of any successful value-based care approach.
- What the “payvider” model is and how it breaks down the silos between payers and providers.
