At ECG, Kate specializes in provider compensation design, valuation, and enterprise-level governance. Her recent work has included leading Prisma Health's system-wide design of its provider compensation governance framework, developing standardized policies, FMV and CR review pathways, and decision rights structures that improved transparency, reduced variation, and strengthened regulatory defensibility across a 2,000 provider enterprise. At Corewell Health, Kate is designing a cohesive, enterprise-wide governance framework that aligns decision rights, standardizes review pathways, and establishes consistent documentation expectations among formerly independent regions.
