Jan Ground PT, MBA, led innovation and virtual care at Kaiser Permanente Colorado, where she worked for 18 years. Jan leads several American Telemedicine Association (ATA) Special Interest Group sub committees. Ms. Ground’s expertise is in leading change, a significant need in implementing virtual care, and in working with leaders to clearly define a measurable problem before implementing a new approach to care. Her greatest passion is working with healthcare leaders to lower the cost of the American healthcare system without lowering clinical outcomes and to improving clinical outcomes without increasing the cost.
