Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare - 2018
Richard Shinto
President and CEO, InnovaCare Health
Shinto leveraged InnovaCare's unique position to improve care coordination in Puerto Rico. Under his leadership, the managed-care company launched new provider engagement programs. Practices that participated in the Office Advantage program saw their average CMS quality star ratings increase by 23%. The practices decreased total bed days by 10% and reduced per-member monthly medical costs by 13%. Shinto led one of the first relief efforts to the island after Hurricane Maria carved its path of destruction. He traveled with caravans to devastated communities to provide care and assisted with emergency evacuations. In the months following the disaster, InnovaCare helped raise more than $4 million to support relief efforts.
