Doug Sparks is the Founder and CEO of Precision Value Based Management. Doug is a currently recognized healthcare strategist with over 35 years of experience in the industry following eight successful years on Wall Street. He founded Precision Value Based Management with the passion to address the coming needs of value-based compliance mandates.
In the past he served as the Chairman of a publicly traded physical therapy company, accelerating revenues, and taking them through a completed acquisition. Following this acquisition, Doug created from inception to full scale operations, a large multi-location private physical therapy enterprise, selling his personal interest in 2001. Since 2002, he has built comprehensive compliance and revenue models for physicians, groups, hospitals, ACOs, IPAs among other various health care industry stakeholders.
In 2018, Doug's former company DPT Healthcare Partners, was honored to be recognized by receiving the Top 10 Innovation & Technology Companies In Healthcare award at the SmartHealth conference. Later, in June of 2019, Doug was again named among the Top 100 Leaders in Healthcare Globally at the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare conference. Doug was then awarded again with the 2021 Top 100 Visionaries in Healthcare award as a result of Precision Value Based Management’s value-based programs that have been extensively developed through his visionary and strategic health care industry experience.
Doug is known best for creating several first-to-market transformative health care models that have become the industry standard.
We have harnessed the resources of a number of value based pioneers and companies to build our own platform rather than using multiple contractors under a consulting company.
All of our partners have deep, strategic relationships with policy makers and industry leaders. The team that produces this great singular platform is made up of many separate companies, all working under one umbrella.
Our mission is take this program, used previously only by institutions to quietly grade their physicians (and share nothing with them), and turn it around to give the physicians the cheat sheet and platform for superior compliance practice earnings. This is literally the Dream Team of healthcare on a mission to drive value based physician compliance and revenue.
