TAMPA, Fla., April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Modern Healthcare has named Paola Bianchi Delp, President of CareNu and CEO of SECUR, a 2025 Top Innovator, recognizing her transformative leadership in value-based care. This prestigious award honors healthcare leaders who are reimagining care delivery, driving measurable clinical and financial results, and setting new industry benchmarks.
"At CareNu, we are not just adapting to change — we are driving it," said Delp, MBA, MHA, ACHE. "By collaborating with our network providers and fostering a culture where innovation is not just encouraged but expected, we are building the future of value-based care. Our investments today are setting the stage for transformative advancements that will redefine how healthcare is delivered. I am honored to receive this recognition from Modern Healthcare, but even more excited about what is ahead."
Under Delp's leadership, CareNu has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and social determinants of health (SDOH) insights to transform healthcare for medically complex populations. Through the organization's transition to the ACO REACH model via its ASSURITY DCE business line, CareNu has delivered industry-defining results:
- 43-percent reduction in emergency room visits
- 55-percent reduction in hospitalizations
- 37-percent net savings in healthcare costs
Building on this momentum, Delp launched SECUR, a Medicare Advantage Institutional-Special Needs Plan (I-SNP), in 2024. By fusing technology with patient-centered care coordination, she is breaking down access barriers, improving healthcare quality and shaping the future of value-based care.
"Artificial intelligence, the use of data and technology investments are transforming healthcare — streamlining workflows, improving patient care and creating new business opportunities," said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. "The ambitious work underway by our 2025 Innovators Awards' honorees is producing exciting results that will lead to better results for patients and these organizations that are tackling the industry's biggest challenges."
