[audio mp3="https://healthbb.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hbdew0025-david-e-williams-interview-frank-williams-of-evolent.mp3"][/audio]At Evolent Health, CEO Frank Williams is intent on helping provider systems succeed financially as they transform from volume-driven to value-driven payment models. I first met Frank when he was CEO of the Advisory Board Company, providing insights to hospitals on strategic and tactical topics. He's leveraged that experience to help Evolent grow.In this podcast interview, Frank opines on:
- How providers can prosper in an era of value-based payments
- Whether Accountable Care Organizations will live up to their promise
- Whether we are headed for just a few huge provider systems in this country or if there is room for the little guy
- How he is using what he learned at the Advisory Board at Evolent
- How Evolent makes money
