Stories, Surveys, and Sensors: A Vision for Value (NCQA Quality Talks)


If you asked Dr. Vivian S. Lee, a radiologist by trade, how to turn transform the US healthcare system, she’d say: with data, data transparency and patient/doctor engagement.

In fact, Dr. Lee led the University of Utah Health Care’s hospital to top performance in patient satisfaction, quality, cost-reduction, and physician engagement. Now at Verily, she is exploring new sensors, data analytics, and machine learning to engage patients in the co-production of their health.

Dr. Lee is the current President of Health Platforms at Verily Life Sciences (an Alphabet/Google company). She was previously Dean of the School of Medicine and CEO of University of Utah Health Care. A distinguished researcher and health care executive, she was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2015. Dr. Lee serves as a Director of the Commonwealth Fund, is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and a member of the JAMA Journal Oversight Committee.
