Inspira Health announced an enhanced shared decision-making structure designed to further strengthen what it calls “systemness” across the organization.
Through smaller, cross-functional teams, the new leadership structure will provide more opportunities for leaders to share learnings, align on priorities and make decisions more cohesively. This model is intended to build on pre-existing collaborative relationships in order to streamline cross-department coordination and accelerate decision-making. The idea is to strengthen the execution of Inspira’s mission to deliver access to safe, high-quality care.
“Strengthening how our leaders work together across the system helps us continue to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for our patients and their families so that they can get the care they need close to home, every time,” said Amy B. Mansue, CEO, Inspira Health.
Warren E. Moore, recently named president and chief operating officer, Inspira Health, added that “true systemness means every employee is aligned around one clear mission that guides every strategy and decision we make. At Inspira, that means providing a safe and compassionate experience that improves the health and well-being of the communities we serve. As change within the health care industry continues to accelerate, we’re evolving our leadership model so we can operate more effectively as a single organization with a shared purpose.”
To support this new structure, Inspira is appointing the following executives to help lead Inspira’s systemness model in partnership with both Inspira’s president and CEO, effective March 1:
