Impactivo CEO, Maria Levis will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine

The company celebrates a milestone as it was recently awarded a patent for their SMART PCMH Technology

Impactivo LLC, a social impact health tech and data-based consultancy with a mission of transforming health systems is proud to announce that its founder, CEO, and Health ImpACTivista, Maria Levis will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine.

Named one of the Top 100 Healthcare Leaders by the International Federation for the Advancement of Healthcare, Maria has worked at the intersection of health and social innovation for almost 25 years. In 2010, she launched a Puerto Rico-based company as a social impact health tech and data-based consultancy committed to amplifying patient voices and creating pathways that transform health systems to address and personalize population’s needs. ''There are so many challenges in the World, we do whatever we can to be a light. That is why we are on a mission to bring people back to what’s most important—their health,” she explains.

To this end, the team at Impactivo develops and deploys innovative community and patient-centered solutions through data, training, technical assistance, and technology. To date, they’ve worked with over 4,000 health professionals, dozens of health centers, and hospitals in medically underserved communities on patient-centered care models, virtual care, quality improvement, burnout prevention, behavioral health integration, sustainability, and other initiatives.

Impactivo is celebrating a new milestone as the company was recently awarded a patent for its SMART PCMH Technology. The invention, titled 'Method for recommending continuing education to health professionals based on patient outcomes' was patented on April 26, 2022, with the U.S. Patent No. 11,315,691.  Simplified for the layman, the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model is an approach to delivering high-quality, cost-effective primary care. Using a patient-centered, culturally appropriate, and team-based approach, the PCMH model coordinates patient care across the health system. The PCMH model has been associated with effective chronic disease management, increased patient and provider satisfaction, cost savings, improved quality of care, and increased preventive care, particularly for those with the greatest need. Well-implemented patient-centered, team-based care has the potential to significantly reduce physician shortages and the burden of chronic disease, which disproportionately affects low-income communities.  With a focus on ensuring that patients understand their responsibilities, engage in self-management, and feel like their primary care providers is a welcoming hub for accessing the care continuum, the PCMH represents an important goal for organizations seeking a way forward in the murky waters of healthcare reform.

Impactivo believes that methods and systems for providing health professionals with continued education are based on performance gaps identified from patient data available in transactional systems of record. The methods can include creating a repository of educational material, measuring patient and team level performance gaps, associating the identified performance gaps with appropriate educational material, alerting the person about the appropriate educational material, capturing a user's interaction with the educational materials, and issuing credits or rewards for substantial consumption of the educational materials.

As the 2021 Best Health System Transformation Consultancy, Impactivo has accessed over $155 million in federal funding to provide community services and develop proprietary methodologies for achieving improved patient outcomes. Maria and the team of “ImpACTivistas” are currently working on the development of a technology-enabled, personalized roadmap that enhances team-based, patient-centered primary care for low-income patients in the U.S. Funded through the National Science Foundation, the project recently received a USPTO patent and has launched a beta version that is out to market. In 2001, Maria led a team that developed the first homeless management information system to deploy health, housing, and social services for this population. Two decades later, she remains ever driven by an unwavering conviction that everyone deserves the resources that enable a healthy life—a clear testament to a career dedicated to health equity for all. And for an untold number of people, she’s delivering.

Maria holds a master’s degree in public administration and a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University, a Data Science Certification from Johns Hopkins University, is a NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Certified Content Expert, and a Certified Fundraiser Executive. She’s a fellow of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health, and an author for Health Affairs, the American Public Health Association, and the Harvard Medical School Primary Care Blog.
