Care-continuum expert d’Autremont joins CMG

Neil d’Autremont has joined Cambridge Management Group (CMG) as a senior advisor. He brings wide experience in care-continuum issues as well as in marketing in the healthcare sector, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical software and insurance.

He has in recent years particularly focused on the use of network applications and electronic health records to assure patient confidentiality while increasing the clinical quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare networks in sharing information  to benefit the patient’s long-term health. Thus he adds to CMG’s well-established expertise in care-continuum improvements. He has studied the impact of EPIC implementation on large medical schools and hospital systems and medical practices as well as the effects of Meaningful Use guidelines for Medicare on physician practices.

Mr. d’Autremont is also president for sales and marketing for MNR Analytics.

His experience has included positions as Division Sales Manager in Virology, as a rheumatology specialist for Roche Labs, where among other activities, he was a community liaison in market development — experience of particular value in population-health matters. He has also worked in sales for Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals and Syntex Labs,  run Nd’A Marketing with medical software, and was a lead benefits analyst for Standard Insurance Co., where he managed high-liability disability cases.

He has presented data to the California Senate and made presentations in the corporate suites of major corporations and to key opinion leaders in multiple medical specialties.

Neil d’Autremont has a B.S. in psychology from Oregon State University and a graduate certificate in medical informatics from Oregon Health Science University.


Rebecca Block, Ph.D., joins CMG

Rebecca Block, Ph.D., has joined Cambridge Management Group (CMG) as a senior adviser. She brings to CMG deep knowledge about the patient experience through the care continuum and how to improve it. Dr. Block develops innovative methodologies to study the patient perspective in the context of the broader health network and then applies that knowledge to make the treatment process work better for patients and providers.

This speaks to CMG’s experience in strengthening the links between all providers in a patient’s episode of care to improve outcomes and control costs. Bundled-payment systems, made imperative by new private- and public-sector insurance mandates, probably comprise the best current example of the application of care-continuum expertise. CMG has been working intensively in helping hospital systems to develop bundled-payment systems.

Dr. Block is also Director of Network Science for MNR Analytics, a healthcare research and consulting firm.

Dr. Block recently left her post as Director of Research and Advocacy with Critical Mass: Young Adult Cancer Alliance. As a social scientist with a clinical social work background, she has studied psychosocial outcomes, healthcare delivery and mental health in a population-health context.

The synergy of life experience, clinical and research skills and connection to social and professional communities is at the heart of Dr. Block’s work.

Rebecca Block has a doctorate in social work and social research from Portland (Ore.) State University; a master’s degree in social work from Gallaudet University, Washington, D.C., and a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Towson (Md.) State University.
