Patrick Ryan
Chair and CEO, Press Ganey
More than 41,000 healthcare facilities work with Press Ganey, a healthcare performance improvement company, to get feedback from patients about their experience with the facility. Under Ryan's leadership, the company has struck up several big-name partnerships. In October, the company announced it is teaming with Northwell Health to validate Press Ganey’s new measures for patient experience in clinical trials. Earlier in 2023, Press Ganey unveiled a collaboration with Epic to deeply integrate patient experience data into the vendor’s more than 300 million records—with the idea of allowing providers to address concerns efficiently. Ryan was named CEO in 2012. He previously filled senior executive positions at the Broadlane Group, MedAssets, PolyMedica Corp. and Physicians Dialysis. He is on the advisory board of Peloton Equity.
