TERESA TOLAND, CEO, is responsible for a startup business where no blueprint or conditions of participation exist. Her 25+ years of experience in community health care has prepared her for her role in this new initiative. Teresa has spent the past eight years getting to know the health care systems and payers in our community and connecting in a positive way. The success of Tandem365 relies strongly on the ability to understand what health care systems, physicians, payers, patients and caregivers need today and being prepared for a dynamic healthcare industry. Teresa firmly believes that healthcare will continue to fail in the effort to delivery high quality care while at the same time manage the cost of delivering that care. Healthcare providers are confronted every day with situations that challenge them to balance patient needs, insurance demands, and regulatory restrictions and yet produce “quality” driven outcomes. Many American’s will be left on the sideline struggling to make sound choices while attempting to understand a very fragmented complex health system.
