Scott Wallace Biography

Scott Wallace plays an influential part in the transformation of America’s health delivery. Leveraging his business and health policy background, Wallace works in the U.S. and around the world with employers, health care providers, health plans, governments and others to develop new health benefit and care models to improve health, stop the progression of chronic diseases and effectively treat chronic medical conditions.

A visiting professor of family and community medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and a Batten Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, Wallace has also served on the faculty for Harvard Business School’s executive education program on health care strategy. He presently teaches in Dartmouth’s masters in health care delivery science, an innovative new program for mid-career executives. In collaboration with Elizabeth Teisberg – a leading expert on value creation and its integral role in improving service delivery in health care – Wallace teaches workshops on value-based health care delivery using a new case model they developed together, which allows them to deliver custom content programs onsite, a significant differentiator from typical executive education platforms. The workshops also qualify for continuing medical education credit, another stand-out benefit.

Prior to his University affiliations, Wallace was the first president and CEO of the National Alliance for Health Information Technology, an organization committed to creating a safer, more efficient and unified health care system through IT. He is the co-founder of the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology, the leading health care IT certification body, and was appointed by President George W. Bush to chair the Commission on Systemic Interoperability – a Federal Commission created to advise the White House and Congress on health transformation through IT. Prior to his commitment to health care, Wallace was CEO of a successful specialty chemical company that grew 10-fold during his tenure. He began his career working in corporate law and venture capital.

Wallace speaks, publishes and consults internationally on health IT, policy, chronic care models, outcomes measurement, innovation and financing issues in health care. He holds a juris doctorate from the University of Chicago Law School, a master’s degree with honors in business administration from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, and has a bachelor’s degree in economics from Duke University.

Scott Wallace Speaking Topics

Understanding Employees/Patients Unmet Health Needs: Redesigning Care and Benefits

Managers often assume that high health care costs result from insatiable demand for care or from an entitlement mentality. That view rests on the fallacy that people want more treatment. What they want is more health. It is the exception, not the norm, to want more invasive procedures, more tests, more time in hospital gowns, longer hospital stays or more time at a clinic. Health care treatment is a burden patients bear in the quest for better health. The biggest impediment to employees’ improved health is the failure to address their unmet health needs. Employees’ health needs differ meaningfully, by company, by region, by type of work. Scott Wallace uses the results of his proprietary Experience Group™ model to identify and understand the unmet needs that drive employees’ poor health and reviews case studies of companies implementing new benefit designs to address those unmet needs.

Making Health IT Meaningful in the Age of Meaningful Use

The Federal government’s commitment to invest more than $22 billion in health IT triggered a stampede to adopt electronic health records. Along with the cash, though, came the requirement to demonstrate ‘meaningful use’ of these systems, an evolving standard that has little to do with improving health outcomes of care. In the rush to grab the Federal subsidy (and avoid the looming Medicare penalty), providers have lost sight of the big picture: better health care outcomes and more effective care delivery. Organizations need a clear strategy to advance their care delivery and business objectives, and they can use health IT to support that strategy. A leading health care IT authority, Scott Wallace explores the evolving meaningful use rules and the common problems implementing and using EHRs. He offers several approaches for clinicians, IT professionals, executives and trustees seeking to effectively use IT to support better care outcomes.

Beyond ACOs and Medical Homes: Redefining Chronic Disease Care

Chronic medical conditions drive more than 75% of all health care spending, but people with a chronic condition typically get care through a system designed for acute care, a glaring strategic misalignment that diminishes health. People with chronic medical conditions often need help to make dramatic lifestyle changes, something that the current system simply can’t do. Instead of fragmented, medically-focused and episodic care triggered by an adverse health event, people with chronic medical conditions need tightly integrated, lifestyle-focused, continuous care that addresses their unmet health needs and slows or stops the progression of chronic conditions. Scott Wallace looks at the chronic disease epidemic and the fundamental differences between acute and chronic conditions, and delves deep into teaching audiences to understand patients’ unmet health needs and to create integrated teams of caregivers and patients that can provide efficient, effective and convenient health solutions for patients and families.
