Jeff Gartland, Relatient (Nashville Business Radio, Episode 37)

Relieving the pain point of patient engagement with their healthcare provider is the focus for Relatient, especially with their recent merger with Radix Health. CEO Jeff Gartland shares how Relatient serves both patient and provider with a solution that involves scheduling, engagement, automation, and the multiple processes that go into successfully managing patient communication. Nashville Business Radio is produced virtually from the Nashville studio of Business RadioX®.

Relatient

Relatient is passionate about assisting healthcare organizations with patient-centered engagement. By helping organizations automate patient-centered outreach and messaging, we help practices, hospitals and health systems facilitate more compliant, and ultimately healthier, patient populations.

The old methods of patient engagement are well-intentioned but ineffective because they overlook a key element: the patient. It’s not enough to push patients to a portal or an app. A patient engagement platform must be designed with the patient at the center, with the patient driving the solutions.

As reimbursement models continue to shift toward outcomes-based medicine, the need for improved patient compliance increases. We all see that reality. The question is, how will your organization meet that need? We’re here to help.

Instead of inviting patients to information and services, why not push the information and services relevant to them, as they need it and in ways which they can quickly respond to it? A patient-centered approach to engagement not only improves outcomes, it improves patient satisfaction.

Jeff Gartland, CEO, Relatient

Jeff Gartland is the Chief Executive Officer of leading SaaS-based patient engagement platform Relatient. He brings over 20 years of experience pioneering healthcare information technology and an aptitude for innovation, growth strategies, and spearheading go-to-market initiatives to the organization, which recently announced a $100M growth equity capital investment from Brighton Park Capital and its merger with Radix Health.

Before joining Relatient, Jeff served as President of the Advanced Analytics & Services business for the Diversified Business Group at Anthem. Additionally, Jeff previously led Ciox Health in transforming the business into a platform for accessing and analyzing the complete health record. He further opened up new market segments across life sciences and precision medicine to enable research efforts leveraging real-world data across all therapeutic areas.

A pioneer in interoperability and analytics, Jeff led the build-out of the nation’s first clinical exchange platform leveraging FHIR standards while at McKesson’s RelayHealth business to support the CommonWell Health Alliance, an industry alliance devoted to the simple vision that health data should be available to individuals and built into provider workflow regardless of where care occurs. Jeff held senior leadership roles spanning health information exchange, patient engagement, clinical revenue integrity, claims and eligibility management, population health, and analytics.

Before McKesson, he worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Health Industry Advisory supporting healthcare providers on strategic physician alignment models, service line growth programs, and financial due diligence and authored the firm’s thought leadership on presidential health policy proposals as part of the Health Research Institute. He has also held leadership positions in several technology ventures and consulting firms.

Jeff holds a B.S. in Management Science from Virginia Tech and an M.B.A. from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. He lives in Roswell, GA, with his wife and their two children.

Gary Aldridge, Aldridge Valuation Advisors (Nashville Business Radio, Episode 31)

Through business valuation and CFO advisory services, Gary Aldridge, owner of Aldridge Valuation Advisors, works with business owners to measure and then grow the value of their business. On this episode of Nashville Business Radio, Gary and host John Ray discussed what he looks for when valuing a business, how he advises clients to grow value, what business valuation should be an on-going exercise, and much more. Nashville Business Radio is produced virtually from the Nashville studio of Business RadioX®.

Aldridge Valuation Advisors

If you are seeking help to measure the value of a business or increase the value of an existing business, who better to contact than a professional who has successfully done both for 25 years?

What sets Gary Aldridge apart from others is the combination of measuring AND growing business value as well as his “real world, down in the trenches, roll up your shirt sleeves” experience as a CFO. This combination proves invaluable, and rare when advising clients.

Since 1993, Gary has been identifying needs to get a business owner moving in the right direction whether it’s a company earning $500,000 or $25 million in revenue.

  • To measure value, he prepares a business valuation for a specific purpose.
  • To grow value, he analyzes the current situation, prepares a plan of action, and executes that plan.
