BURLINGTON, VT, March 26, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jason Minor has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

With nearly three decades of experience in quality, regulatory compliance, and system transformation, Mr. Minor has become a leading voice in addressing one of healthcare's most persistent challenges: the gap between quality improvement efforts and reliable, consistent patient care outcomes.

As founder and executive director of EvaluCare, Mr. Minor is advancing a new model for hospital quality, one that shifts the hospitals from retrospective quality improvement toward continuous quality assurance and clinical learning. Through the EvaluCare CARE-AI platform (Clinical Assurance for Rural Excellence – AI), hospitals are now able to review 100% of inpatient care, providing continuous visibility into care delivery and enabling earlier intervention to reduce preventable harm, improve care transitions, and strengthen clinical reliability, while decreasing cost of care.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on small sample reviews and delayed reporting of hospital outcome data, CARE-AI establishes a real-time quality assurance infrastructure that transforms how hospitals understand and act on care performance. By converting clinical data into actionable insights and integrating directly into hospital Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) programs, CARE-AI supports both regulatory compliance and operational excellence while reducing the burden on clinical teams.

Designed specifically for critical access and rural hospitals, the platform aligns with CMS Conditions of Participation and Medicare cost-based reimbursement structures, addressing both quality and financial sustainability, two of the most urgent challenges facing rural healthcare systems today.

Mr. Minor's work is grounded not only in innovation but in deep system-level leadership. As Board Chair of the Vermont Program for Quality in Health Care (VPQHC), he collaborates with healthcare leaders across the state to advance quality, safety, and accountability in care delivery. VPQHC brings together hospitals, clinicians, regulators, and community stakeholders, positioning Mr. Minor at the forefront of statewide quality strategy and governance.

In parallel, Mr. Minor serves as System Director of Continuous Systems Improvement at the University of Vermont Health Network's Jeffords Institute for Quality, where he leads transformation efforts across a multi-hospital system. In this role, he supports over 200 active initiatives spanning clinical quality, patient safety, operations, and system integration, applying Lean, high reliability, and learning organization principles to improve care delivery across six hospitals, a home health agency and 13 health services and the continuum.

Mr. Minor led the design of a unified quality system. His leadership has consistently focused on building sustainable infrastructure that enables organizations to move beyond episodic improvement and toward continuous quality assurance and system learning.

Mr. Minor's academic and professional contributions further reinforce his leadership in the field. As a lecturer in healthcare quality at the University of Vermont, he educates advanced practice clinicians and future healthcare leaders on quality systems, patient safety, and performance improvement methodologies. He also supports graduate medical education and clinical learning environment initiatives, advancing the integration of quality and safety into frontline care delivery and learning. In addition, he supported the creation of, and served as a peer reviewer for, the Vermont Care Partners Centers of Excellence program, supporting the development and evaluation of high-performing behavioral health systems.

His extensive credentials reflect a deep commitment to excellence in quality and safety, including certifications as a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ), Certified Professional in Patient Safety (CPPS), Certified Health Care Quality Management (CHCQM), and Certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, among others. He is also a Project Management Professional (PMP) and Prosci-certified Change Management Practitioner.

Mr. Minor's career spans healthcare, behavioral health, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where he has consistently applied systems thinking, data-driven decision-making, and operational discipline to improve performance and outcomes. Across his leadership roles, he has developed and supported more than 1,500 transformation initiatives, pioneered first-of-their-kind outcomes reporting, and led transitions to Lean management systems, demonstrating a sustained impact on quality, safety, and organizational effectiveness.

Central to Mr. Minor's work is a clear premise: improving outcomes in healthcare requires more than improvement projects; it requires a robust quality assurance infrastructure that enables organizations to continuously learn from care delivery itself.

Through EvaluCare and CARE-AI, he is working to build that infrastructure at scale to support rural health.

Looking ahead, Mr. Minor envisions a healthcare system in which every patient encounter contributes to organizational learning, clinicians are supported by real-time insights, and quality assurance and clinical learning systems are embedded in the core operations of every hospital. His work is particularly focused on strengthening rural healthcare, ensuring that critical access hospitals have the tools and infrastructure needed to deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable care for their communities.
