Chronic Care Management, Inc. Announces Leadership Team Appointments

Chronic Care Management, Inc. (CCM), today announced the promotion of two of its leadership team members. Mark Douglas, M. Fin., has been promoted to Chief Operating and Finance Officer, and Lisa Owens, RN, has been promoted to Vice President of Care Management and Client Success. Both officially step into the roles on April 30.

Dr. William Mills, President and CEO of Chronic Care Management, Inc. said, “I’m delighted to announce the promotion of Mark into an elevated leadership role at CCM. In his time as CCM’s Chief Financial Officer, we have experienced significant growth, improved our operational efficiency, and have developed an exciting Chronic Care Management Resource Center model that is benefiting patients and providers throughout the country.” Mills continued, “With the company entering an accelerated growth phase, Mark will provide leadership and oversight of the company’s growing CCM Resource Center model, our full-service CCM partner model, as well as emerging opportunities, including joint ventures.” With Mark’s strong track record in healthcare strategy, corporate development, finance and operations, I believe wholeheartedly that Mark will help us achieve our main goal – to help increase patient access to high quality ‘in-between visit’ care management programs for chronically ill people.” Mark has relocated to Cleveland from Louisville, Kentucky with his wife and two children.

Dr. Mills continued, “I’m also excited to announce the promotion of Lisa Owens, RN to VP of Care Management and Client Success. With Lisa’s clinical nursing background, her prior experience in organizations whose focus is on supporting chronically ill patients in their place of residence, and her ability to form strong connections with client providers, support staff and patients, I believe that Lisa’s appointment will help our medical group, health system, post-acute care and ACO clients achieve increasing care management success. Lisa will also focus a significant part of her efforts on helping to articulate the value proposition of CCM – to patients, family and providers – as she and her team support clients,” Mills said.

Mills continued, “As the recent study of the Medicare chronic care management program showed, the program is helping keep people out of hospitals and lowering costs by increasing goal-directed care planning and connectivity to providers and community-based resources, like home healthcare. I believe that Mark and Lisa will help us better empower providers around the country with CCM – to increase patient access to high quality, evidence-based ‘in-between visit’ care management.”
