Compensation [department] appreciates [Business Intelligence Manager] Jason Bubenhofer’s partnership and responsiveness. We find great value in the “Quick Surveys” that The Health Collaborative offers and appreciate how we can request our own. They provide useful insights as to what our healthcare peers are doing and help guide our Compensation strategy.

One of the most personally valuable benefits of The Health Collaborative is the opportunity to discuss medical issues that impact the entire Cincinnati community with my peers across the city. Awareness and, in some cases alignment, of strategies other health systems are deploying to tackle challenges like the opioid epidemic and provider burnout, as well as issues like medical marijuana and population health management, elevates the health of our communities. The data governance process to promote compliant sharing of important private health information while still keeping our patients protected, safe and secure is a valuable one.

Membership powers our potential
An investment in The Health Collaborative is an investment in the health of our region. Our members develop strategies to solve our most pressing healthcare challenges and put them to action, benefiting not only the community as a whole but also their organization’s individual efforts.
The Health Collaborative is driven by membership. Members inform our services, training and initiatives to boost our collective efforts. Here’s how we’re collaborating to make a difference:
Targeted Programs
Our targeted programs convene healthcare professionals from across the region to develop and activate strategic plans to address health challenges. By combining the collective knowledge, experience and influence of our healthcare leaders, we can enact real change in pursuit of a healthier community. We organize ongoing affinity groups that regularly connect hospital CHROs, COOs and CNOs, as well as short-term action groups and coalitions tasked with addressing a specific problem or issue.
Group Purchasing Organization
THC hosts a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). We take pride in our focus on local minority-, women, and veteran-owned vendor organizations and social enterprises which help to advance member health equity goals.
Epic Forums
As one of the largest providers of health information technology, Epic Systems is used by hospitals and health systems to access, organize, store and share electronic medical records. Each quarter, The Health Collaborative convenes ten groups of hospital leadership and staff members who work closely with Epic, providing a platform for participants to learn from each other and collaborate on solutions to improve regional coordination and the overall health of the community.
Fuel our collective power by joining The Health Collaborative as a member.
