In April 2013, Dr. Hunt was
appointed CPHO (Chief Population Health Officer [CMO/CMIO]) for St.
Vincent’s Health Partners, Inc., a Physician Hospital Organization
with more than 400 providers, and St. Vincent’s Medical Center. Dr.
Hunt provides physician leadership and direction for the planning,
design and implementation of clinical information systems at St.
Vincent’s Health Partners, Inc. and oversees quality and
utilization for its provider network. Under the leadership of Dr.
Hunt, St. Vincent’s Health Partners, Inc. was the first
organization in the country to become accredited and re-accredited
by URAC as a Clinically Integrated Network and is leading the
charge in changing the face of healthcare in CT. Currently, working
with organizational leaders, Dr. Hunt is engaged to develop
information system infrastructure to support a super clinically
integrated network. As Chief Executive Officer (2016), he is now
focused to develop additional opportunities for medical management
with employers and payers, enhance network contracting, and
continue to support organizational transformation to value
reimbursement.
Dr. Hunt joined St. Vincent’s Health System (SVHS) as CMIO in August 2014. He is working closely with clinical and information technology associates to transition to ongoing operations after the Cerner EMR implementation. Additionally, Dr. Hunt participates with the Valued Care Alliance [VCA] (a newly formed six hospital consortium in Connecticut in which St. Vincent’s Medical Center is a founding member) to establish system-wide population management infrastructure. The VCA has been recognized as a leading advanced network by Connecticut and participates with the Community and Clinical Integration Program, and awarded the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) model grant by CMS.
