QIRT Welcomes Giovanni Pagano, Director of Business DevelopmentPost-acute industry-leading provider of coding, billing, and consulting services, QIRT, hires Gio Pagano, formerly of Cardinal Health, to lead business development across the country.
By: QIRT (Quality In Real Time) Prior to joining QIRT in September, Gio worked for Cardinal Health, Home Healthcare Solutions where he built extensive relationships with key stakeholders in the post-acute industry. Gio has dedicated 12 years of his career to the post-acute space, with 6 of those years in the home care and hospice industry. His first official QIRT outing occurs this week at the QIRT-sponsored Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice's Annual Conference in Columbus, Ohio. QIRT CEO and President, Laura Page-Greifinger, spoke about Gio joining the QIRT team: "Quality has and always will be our most important value, yet we are finding others in the industry are placing less emphasis on quality as regulations and bottom lines continue to conflict with each other. I brought Gio on as a team member to be our 'boots on the ground'. His task is to show agencies that for QIRT, quality is not simply the word for our coding: it is our guiding principle for complete agency solutions. Agencies should not skimp on quality at the expense of other factors, as this will result in much larger issues down the line. It is important to me that agencies realize this, to the benefit of the industry. QIRT doesn't insist on long-term contracts, our Advantage Platform creates revolutionary dashboards and reporting, and our staff's quality is the best in the industry. Now, Gio will be heading across the country to illustrate this to the entire post-acute industry." Gio expressed his thoughts as well: "I am extremely excited about joining the strong team at QIRT. I proudly share many of the same values QIRT stands for and I believe our industry needs strong partners who value integrity, quality, and customer experience above all. I am confident that QIRT is that partner which allows providers to focus on what matters most, the patient." Gio resides in northeast Ohio and is a proud father of two young girls. He is married to the love of his life Julie, whom he met at Kent State while completing an undergraduate degree in biochemistry. QIRT has plans to continue to support the post-acute industry through changes in payment models, coding and OASIS regulations, QAPI and conditions of participation. QIRT experts promote Quality Cycle Management in agencies through quality coding, education, implementation, speaking engagements, and by hosting webinars throughout the year. Experts share what the QIRT team has learned from the QIRT Advantage Platform's data-collection and reporting tools and how to utilize this knowledge.
