R1 is the leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of hospitals, health systems, and physician groups. We combine deep healthcare expertise, a global workforce, and advanced capabilities across analytics, AI, intelligent automation, and workflow orchestration to help healthcare organizations improve performance at scale.

• Provide clear project updates and escalations to stakeholders at multiple levels and help maintain accountability throughout implementation.

• Propose opportunities to improve, enhance, or expand product and process initiatives.
