Buzz for Blues

Jill Gheen:

Hi. I'm Jill Gheen and a member of the Optum growth office team with a dedicated focus on Blues partnerships. I'd been working with Blue plans for the past 25 years and understand their unique focus and compassion for the members they serve.

Jill Gheen:

Most recently, Optum has heard from Blues leaders and interest around health equity, growth, and affordability strategies, social determinant of health, and the quickly changing landscape in healthcare digital strategies. There's no lack of things to solve for in our existing system. There's also a focus on quickly changing legislation and how it can help us work together to expand existing programs for innovate with technology to grow new business.

Jill Gheen:

Finally, we are focused on whole person health and whole system health in this partnership. As we partner to deliver on our Blue client's strategic priorities around affordability, payment integrity, managed analytics, risk and quality and member health programs, we often review governance and how to cross pollinate success from one area to another. Our goal is to work with you to create a system that works better for everyone.

Jill Gheen:

This quarter we have developed resources to provide you with insight into the research and best practices we see across the healthcare ecosystem. We hope you find the resources on this page helpful as you continue to strengthen your plan. Please use the contact form to let us know what info we can provide to better support you and the communities you serve or feel free to reach out to me or your Optum representatives for assistance.
