Compassus
Through joint ventures with organizations like Ascension, Bon Secours Mercy Health, OhioHealth, and Providence, Compassus brings caregivers together and focuses on culture, engagement, and development.
For Laura, strong partnerships always start with alignment.“ We want to make sure we’ re mission aligned. Are we trying to set the same goals? Do we have a future that we can see together? We create transparency and trust, so we can have the hard conversations that make partnerships successful.”
That same commitment to alignment shapes every decision at Compassus. Whether the conversation is about quality, compliance, workforce planning, or operations, it always starts with the same principle: placing the patient at the center. According to Laura, everything from quality care to regulatory compliance falls into place when the patient is your foundation.
When we find a great technology partner, we cocreate solutions. Our goal is to reduce administrative burden and support our clinicians
Innovation with purpose
As healthcare continues to evolve, technology remains a significant area of investment for Compassus. The organization is evaluating new tools, including AI and predictive analytics, weighing each against a consistent set of questions: What are we trying to solve? Will this improve patient outcomes? Will it make experiences better for patients and families? Will it support our clinicians in delivering great care? americanhealthcareleader. com 47
