Policy Experience & Interests: Prior to attending Mount Sinai, Dan worked as a healthcare strategy consultant with a significant focus in provider transformation to value: advising health systems on how to transform from a traditional fee-for-service model to a payment system based on value. Additionally, he has volunteered in the Preventable Admissions Care Team (PACT) clinic at Mount Sinai, which delivers high-intensity and multi-disciplinary primary care for “super-utilizers.” Finally, Dan has worked in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai, researching how patient perception and understanding of their chronic illnesses impact their likelihood to engage in self-management behaviors.
Dan’s research interests focus around helping patients navigate the complex medical ecosystem in the hopes of improving outcomes and reducing costs. This includes creating innovative clinical models that decrease barriers to healthcare, as well as improving health outcomes and reducing medical expenditure by making targeted investments in primary care, disease prevention, and interventions aimed at improving social determinants of health.
