The Story Behind Blue Clay Health: A Personal Mission to Transform Complex Care When Chris Riley’s son suffered a massive stroke at the age of 13, he and his family’s world was turned upside down. As they navigated the challenges of his recovery, they encountered firsthand the struggles that countless families face when seeking comprehensive, coordinated care for complex medical conditions. Chris found himself lost in a fragmented healthcare system, struggling to access the expertise his son needed. Medical records were scattered, communication between specialists was siloed, and he and his family felt overwhelmed trying to piece together a cohesive treatment plan. It was through this deeply personal experience that the vision for Blue Clay Health was born. We realized that there had to be a better way – a way to break down barriers, connect patients with top specialists worldwide, and enable personalized, data-driven care plans. The Ensemble Care Hub, our revolutionary platform, is designed specifically to address the challenges we faced and those that so many others continue to encounter. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we aim to streamline the coordination of multidisciplinary care, ensuring that patients and their families have access to the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions and achieve the best possible outcomes. Our journey has fueled our passion for transforming complex care coordination and empowering patients on a global scale. We believe that no family should have to navigate the overwhelming complexities of the healthcare system alone, especially during the most challenging times of their lives. At Blue Clay Health, we are committed to revolutionizing the way complex care is delivered, one patient at a time. Our personal mission has become a driving force behind our innovative solutions and unwavering dedication to improving lives. We invite you to join us in our quest to redefine the future of healthcare. Together, we can ensure that patients and their families have access to the expertise, support, and personalized care they deserve, no matter where they are in the world. #BlueClayHealth #EnsembleCareHub #PersonalMission #TransformingComplexCare #PatientEmpowerment #ConnectingExpertise

Today, I'm thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Scene Health! Working alongside some of the most brilliant, decent, and hard-working people on the planet has been an honor. I'm grateful for the clinicians, scientists, public health experts, health-plan innovators, technologists, and investors who have contributed to our success. But, it's my fellow "Scenesters" who have dedicated themselves to literally changing the standard of care (which I think is pretty damn cool!) Building a company that survives a decade is no easy feat, but growing one that has improved countless patients' lives is truly rewarding. As we move forward, I'm excited to see what the future holds. Here's to many more years of innovation, impact, and success! There are so many people to thank, but I want to give special props to Sebastian Seiguer, JD, MBA, Amanda Allen, Bob Bollinger, Jane McKenzie-White, Larry William Chang, Miquel Sitjar, Pau Varela, The Johns Hopkins University, Cal Wheaton, Uriridiakoghene (Ulili) Onovakpuri, Matt Hellauer, Thomas Carroll, Theresa Sexton, Daniel Roche, Christopher College, Roshan Potarazu, Christy Wyskiel, Lauren Brown, Lindsay Litwin Ye, Michael Cohen, Steven Cutbirth, MBA, MSHCT, Amy Cummings MBA, MSN, RN, Rachel Usnik and....I'll stop. There are too many involved in making 10 years a success. #medicationadherence #medicationmanagement #publichealth #clinicaltrials #medicaid #happybirthday!

This week, we are celebrating 🎉 national #PrimaryCareWeek with a focus on empowering providers. As we embrace this special week, let's recognize the critical role of primary care providers in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. They serve as the backbone of our healthcare system. 👩⚕️👨⚕️ Yet, all too often, primary care providers and their care teams are held back - and burned-out - by administrative burdens coupled with too little resources and outdated technology. It's time to disrupt the status quo. 💪✨ At Vim, we believe in the power of primary care to transform lives and communities - and that's what drives us to build a more digitally connected healthcare future. Vim's in-EHR point-of-care connection platform gives primary care providers the tools they need to deliver exceptional care and drive better health outcomes.💡 National Primary Care Week is not just a time for celebration, but also a call to action - and we are proud to be a part of a community of visionaries, challenging the norms and creating a future where patient-centric, value-based care is the new standard. 🙌💙 #NationalPrimaryCareWeek #InnovationinHealthcare #PrimaryCareProviders #PatientCentric #ValueBasedCare #FutureofHealthcare

I chose HLTH over other shows this year. My first time attending #HLTH2023 didn't disappoint. Here are my takeaways-- 1. Value Based Care adoption is improving -- real challenges still exist. Even the industry leaders in VBC adoption have less than 50% of their patient population under this model. 2. Transformation doesn't happen in healthcare without the caregiver. We have to find ways to attract, retain, and celebrate our providers. We can't rely on technology to scale and streamline enough. We need to add talent to our industry. 3. You're not going to do it yourself. Collaborate, coordinate, and communicate. It's going to take a village -- be a contributing member.
