The Peterson Center on Healthcare is a non-profit organization dedicated to making higher quality, more affordable healthcare a reality for all Americans. The organization is working to transform U.S. healthcare into a high-performance system by finding innovative solutions that improve quality and lower costs, and accelerating their adoption on a national scale. Established by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Center collaborates with stakeholders across the healthcare system and engages in grant-making, partnerships, and research.
The Peterson Center on Healthcare is working with partners to launch an independent initiative to assess the clinical and economic value of digital health technology (DHT). DHT encompasses an array of digital products and services, from technologies that engage consumers for lifestyle and wellness purposes to digital medicine and therapeutics that must be cleared by regulatory bodies.
This major new initiative from the Center aims to promote clear evidence standards and to provide payers and other stakeholders with objective reviews to guide decisions on coverage, pricing, and the need for further research. By identifying technologies and assessing their evidence, the initiative aims to promote more informed purchasing decisions—both encouraging broader uptake of high-value technologies and discouraging adoption of low-value technologies.
The Center is seeking a Senior Vice President, Digital Health Technology Stakeholder Management (“SVP”) to support its initiative, which will be informed by a wide array of stakeholders, including payers, in both informal capacities and formal advisory group structures. The SVP will be responsible for developing, implementing, and advancing a multi-pronged stakeholder engagement strategy to meet the evolving needs of the Center’s DHT initiative. This position will work to recruit and maintain the appropriate mix of stakeholders, build strong rapport with engaged parties, understand competing entities and detractors, and serve as the Center’s primary liaison for DHT stakeholders.
