The Leadership
Circle
INVESTING in the
REGION
|
The RCGA’s
Leadership Circle creates added membership value by providing a
unique and invigorating forum to connect executives of small, medium
and large companies with each other and to the broad base of influential
leaders in the St. Louis region.
As the health care system becomes more complex, so does the job
of Greg Bayer, the executive vice president of operations and information
technology at Magellan Health Services. With revenues of $1.7 billion,
Magellan serves 70 million Americans through an unparalleled delivery
system of 45,000 credentialed providers, more than 3,000 provider
facilities and three national service centers, including a state-of-the-art
national data center currently under construction in Maryland Heights
that Bayer spearheaded.
As health care becomes more regulated and more complex from an information
management perspective, the importance of information technologies
to the health care consumer becomes more apparent. Health care consumers
want choice among providers, employers want choice among benefit
designs and everyone wants information to be held securely and confidentially,”
says Bayer, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 22 years
of clinical and administrative experience.
““These changes require IT to capture, process and transport information
to end users and payors and report on it to government regulatory
bodies,” explains Bayer, who joined the company in 1998 when Magellan
began to integrate Green Spring Health Services, Human Affairs International
and Merit Behavioral Care Corporation into the largest single managed
behavioral health care company in the nation.
In addition to being responsible for the management and development
of multiple web sites that adapt to the changing needs of the marketplace,
Bayer also is instrumental in supporting new business implementations,
including contracts with the U.S. Postal Service and Principal Health
Care, which combined represent approximately 730,000 additional
covered lives.
