CEO, Advanced Health Outcomes
Having and practicing registered nurse, AHO offers nationally respected and trusted healthcare consulting services for accountability and measurement organizations that reflect her deep understanding of "real world" care delivery. AHO uses policy and accountability levers to reduce provider burdens and patient barriers that impede access, quality, and outcomes for all populations. Since the early 1990's, Beginning in the early 2000's, she authored, edited, reviewed, tested, endorsed, implemented, and abstracted data for thousands clinical quality measures for a wide array of public, private, and professionals purposes.
As healthcare translational researchers, Dr. Hibay employs measurement and performance improvement sciences to value-based care (VBC) and accountability activities, imploring that complex healthcare delivery must be tailored to "meet the patients where they are", rather than implementing ineffective one-size-fits-all models. Care delivery excellence considers the special needs of vulnerable populations and social determinants of health that inhibit equitable patient-centric care access and delivery. Accountability must also incorporate the provider characteristics and available services, as well as the community resources where care is received. In 2010, she began working with federal partners, measure developers, medical societies, providers, and interested stakeholders to develop, implement and support endorsement of measures into appropriate measure programs and payment model, juxtaposing the needs of clinicians and the national goal of transforming healthcare into a value-based industry.
