JD Liss Associates

"As the leading association focused on the needs of America’s largest hospital systems, The Health Management Academy needed to play an active role in the nation’s health policy debates. David provided key input on the formation of The Academy Advisors, the Academy’s policy and advocacy arm. He guided us through many of the critical issues facing major healthcare systems regarding payment, delivery reform, and health information technology. In addition to having deep experience in policy, his familiarity with Washington and every level of government was a resource we could bring to all of our membership. We greatly appreciate his support."

"I’ve had the privilege of leading some of the great institutions of healthcare, including Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York- Presbyterian Hospital.  In both those capacities, I had the pleasure of working closely with David. NYP is one of the greatest hospitals in the country because it is a leader in creating the next generation of healthcare through delivery reform, clinical research, and top-tier care—and translating these accomplishments into policy through advocacy As the hospital's vice president of government relations and strategic initiatives for almost 15 years, David was my partner in moving NYP’s achievements to create important policies and enhance our reputation. He was our voice in Washington advising on crucial legislation for Health Information Technology. He advocated for and achieved governmental funding for some of our most important initiatives in HIT and delivery reform. David initiated our op-ed program that brought our voice into critical media sources including The Wall Street Journal, Modern Healthcare, The Hill, and many others. I served with him on the New York eHealth Collaborative board. He knows government, healthcare, technology, and communications."

"The Department of Biomedical Informatics has worked with David for many years. He was unique in his understanding of the policy dimensions of Health Information Technology and one of the first people in the country to advocate for legislation concerning HIT. His work with Congress’s authorizing and appropriations committees has provided enormous fiscal and policy support for the institutions he has served. As scientists and scholars, we were really pleased with David’s ability to learn complex concepts and present them in ways that were meaningful to policymakers."

"As a member of the New York eHealth Collaborative board, David has been a colleague in transforming healthcare in New York State through Health Information Exchange and the wise use of information technology. He has deep experience in HIT and a thorough understanding of the healthcare industry. He was part of the visionary group of New York providers that conceived and advocated for the State Health Information Network of NY (SHIN-NY) more than 10 years ago. That vision has remained valid and I am delighted to work with David on moving it forward. I recommend him to any organization that seeks to achieve ambitious goals."

David Liss is a rare professional who keenly understands the intersection of policy, politics and power. He is incredibly mission driven, has the ability to convey essential points of a program to the public as well as individual decision makers. He understands the machinery of Federal and State governments and can dissect objectives into serial steps of actionability, all with a high moral compass. His work for me extended from State policy goals, acceptance of new programs, industry association relationships, legislative initiatives and consensus building among disparate interest groups. Few understand health policy like David Liss.
