Pros
The CMO is a true subject matter expert in his field and is a brilliant innovator in the field of addiction medicine. That being said, he is the only clinician that garners any respect from the executive team.
Cons
This company is trying to provide support to a medically complex population despite lack of investment in clinical excellence, care management or utilization management. If you follow LinkedIn you will find this company has a high churn rate for both Registered Nurses and others with clinical-based backgrounds, while math majors with death-by-PowerPoint skills are elevated and recognized. This is not an ideal set-up for a company that is allegedly providing medical management services. The executive level strata of this company are comprised of two cliques-the NaviHealth clique and the Evolent clique. If you want an accurate assessment of the culture of Wayspring, you need to look at reviews of these two companies approximately four years ago. Neither clique seems to value clinicians, although the Evolent clique is generally easier to get along with, albeit more focused on micromanagement (in their phraseology, performance management). The NaviHealth clique is comprised of PowerPoint Geeks, and the microaggression is worse with this clique.
