Acentra Health has appointed Ryan Bosch as executive vice president and chief health and informatics officer.
In this newly created role, Bosch will oversee the strategic development and implementation of clinically-based practices into the company’s products and solutions to enhance patient care and operational efficiency, the company said. He will focus on advancing social determinants of health and behavioral health initiatives.
“I am delighted that Dr. Bosch has joined Acentra Health,” said Todd Stottlemyer, CEO of Acentra Health. “I had the privilege of working with Dr. Bosch previously during our time together at Inova Health System. He brings a combination of clinical, analytics, public health, policy, and large health systems implementation experience to Acentra Health, all of which are critical to our mission of improving health outcomes for the priority populations served by our clients.”
Bosch is a practicing board-certified internal medicine physician and career healthcare executive. He brings over 20 years of industry experience to the role, specializing in harnessing socio-clinical analytics to deliver health equity across all lines of business.
“As part of our vision to be the vital partner for health solutions in the public sector, we made a commitment to evolve the Medicaid Enterprise System (MES) market into one that is clinically driven,” said Meghan Harris, president and chief operations officer of Acentra Health. “Dr. Bosch’s medical experience and successful track record helping organizations use clinical data to drive equitable outcomes around social determinants of health will be critical in helping us deliver clinically focused solutions that address our clients’ most pressing needs.”
Before joining Acentra Health, Bosch was president and chief health information officer of Socially Determined, a social risk analytics company he cofounded that helps organizations use social determinants of health data to drive better health outcomes. Before that, he was vice president and chief medical information officer for Inova Health System.
Since 2020, Bosch has served in a consulting role for Acentra Health as a member of its Health Advisory Board. He was also a contributing member of the Health Information and Management Systems Society SDOH Task Force.
“From my vantage point as an Acentra Health Advisory Board member, I watched this company evolve into one uniquely suited to help government healthcare agencies accelerate better health outcomes through data-driven insights,” Bosch said. “Now as CHIO, I am excited to apply a whole patient/whole population approach to further strengthen Acentra Health’s solutions to address the growing demand for digital disease management, behavioral health solutions, and overall health equity.”
