Lisa M. Trumble is president and CEO of SoNE HEALTH, a clinically integrated network focused on population health and value-based care. She has led the development of the organization’s clinical, operational, governance, technology and analytics infrastructure to support care delivery and cost management.
Over the past seven years, SoNE HEALTH has generated $144 million in health plan savings, according to the organization. Trumble has also overseen partnerships including direct-to-employer contracts, a Medicaid accountable care organization collaboration and vendor relationships focused on at-risk populations.
Looking ahead, affordability pressures tied to rising medical and pharmacy costs, along with tighter public and employer funding, remain significant challenges. Workforce shortages, burnout and administrative complexity are also straining providers, she said.
Trumble said SoNE HEALTH’s opportunity lies in expanding value-based care through stronger primary care, earlier risk identification and closer coordination with community-based supports, including behavioral health, transportation, housing and food access.
If you could change one thing in the healthcare industry, what would it be?
I would shift payment from volume to outcomes that improve health, expand access and avoid unnecessary care. By rewarding prevention, primary care, behavioral health and community health integration, as well as equity and shared accountability across the continuum, we can improve quality and experience while lowering the total cost of care.
