Seattle, WA — Rippl Care, a leading virtual dementia care provider, is pleased to announce that Eric Van Horn has joined the organization as a Value-Based Care Advisor. With a wealth of experience in developing innovative care models and driving success in risk-based contracting, Eric will play a critical role in supporting Rippl’s mission to expand access to high-quality dementia care through value-based agreements with large healthcare payors.
“I am thrilled to help Rippl at such a pivotal moment in dementia care,” said Eric Van Horn. “As the population ages, we are on the brink of a significant wave of new patients needing specialized care. Value-based care presents a transformative opportunity to improve outcomes for people living with dementia and their caregivers while addressing the broader challenges of the healthcare system. I’m excited to partner with the Rippl team to make this vision a reality.”
Rippl’s value-based contracting program is a key strategic initiative designed to ensure that people living with dementia and their caregivers receive the specialized support they need. By aligning financial incentives with clinical outcomes, these agreements have already proven to help reduce costs, improve care quality, and expand access to care.
“Welcoming Eric to Rippl represents a significant step forward in our efforts to scale our impact,” said Kris Engskov, CEO and co-founder of Rippl. “Value-based care contracts are crucial for expanding access to dementia care for more people and their families, and Eric’s expertise will help us build and scale the programs and partnerships necessary to achieve that goal.”
Eric brings decades of experience in healthcare strategy, operations, and value-based payment models. As President and Chief Business Officer of Landmark Health, Eric played a key role in developing Landmark’s innovative risk model for caring for patients with multiple chronic conditions. Much like proven programs in cancer and diabetes care, specialty care models excel within value-based care frameworks. Dementia is uniquely positioned to follow this successful playbook. As an advisor, Eric will help pioneer fine-tuning these models to address the growing dementia crisis and sharing risk with payers. His leadership and guidance will enhance Rippl’s groundbreaking approach to dementia care, which integrates expert clinical support, cutting-edge technology, and a compassionate, person-centered philosophy to meet the needs of this expanding population.
