Founding Principal
Lisa Green, Ph.D., Founding Principal, brings nearly three decades working as a mixed-methods health services researcher with particular focus on evaluating health care access, social drivers of health, quality, and costs under federal health care programs. She leads and advises small- and national-scale evaluation, program support and analytic projects for the federal government, examining how different reimbursement and care delivery models impact health and health care quality, equity/outcomes, utilization, and spending. These projects span value-based and other alternative reimbursement models being tested in both fee-for-service and managed care arrangements, including accountable care initiatives, post-acute care value-based purchasing models, 1115 demonstrations, and Medicare Advantage.
Dr. Green has conducted thousands of key informant interviews and case studies nationwide with consumer groups, providers, state/local government agencies, and beneficiaries on the information and health service needs of populations served by federal and state health care programs. She brings this extensive qualitative research experience in contextualizing analyses of large data sources, including Medicare claims and administrative data, Medicaid expenditure data, and national surveys. Recent work includes directing several large-scale evaluations examining how alternative payment methodologies and care delivery approaches impact health care utilization, spending, quality and patient experience. Other notable project work includes assessing and building evidence to support the business case for health care sector stakeholders to integrate health equity into their business operations. Prior to her graduate studies in health services outcomes and quality, Dr. Green worked on a variety of projects assessing the impact of Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program policies on the health care access and health outcomes of underserved populations.
Dr. Green holds a Ph.D. in health services and outcomes research from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor of Arts in economics and French with a concentration in international relations from Cornell University.
