The WHCMAA’s 2025 Outstanding Service Award recipient, Bryan began his sixteenth year as a Board member and his second term as President on July 1st. Spanning three decades, Bryan has served the Health Care Management program, its alumni, and other Association members more years than anyone in the organization’s history (except, of course, June Kinney).
A seasoned executive and consultant, Bryan is presently the Managing Director, Healthcare Alliance & Chief Healthcare Innovation Officer at Amplifire, a fully virtual private company headquartered in Boulder, CO. Amplifire’s neuroscience-based adaptive learning platform enables health systems to build workforce capacity while reducing avoidable harm, enhancing provider wellness, and improving clinical and financial performance. The technology includes unique learner-level analytics as well as AI-assisted content curation. A brain science-trained AI tutor will be commercially released in 2025 and will further revolutionize education and frontline caregiver support. Amplifire also addresses training priorities for numerous health insurers, life sciences companies, and medical device manufacturers, as well as the education, aviation and accounting sectors.
Prior to Amplifire, Bryan’s executive roles included operational accountabilities as Chief Operating Officer at DocSite and interim Chief Medical Officer with Prominence Health Plan. He was also responsible for enterprise-wide quality leadership as System Vice President, Performance Measurement and Improvement at Allina Health System, and for driving growth as Senior Vice President, Business Development at CareScience.
In 2004, he launched the advisory firm, Falcon Health Solutions, whose notable clients included Geisinger Health System, ECRI, CRICO Strategies, EMMI solutions and Mercy Virtual. Bryan also previously served as a UnitedHealthcare executive who was deployed to Medica, United’s largest health plan at the time. He was on the founding team of Allina Health System and embarked upon his non-clinical career as a consultant with Towers Perrin.
Recognition of Bryan’s leadership and health sector experience was evident when the U.S. Secretary of Commerce appointed him in 2011 (and reappointed in 2014) to the Board of Overseers of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, a world-renowned public-private partnership that helps organizations of all sizes achieve and sustain best-in-class performance. In addition to receiving his MBA from The Wharton School, Bryan also graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and earned a BS degree from Dickinson College.
