When NJBIZ puts together its annual Health Care Power List, they’re looking for people who are actually moving the needle, not just holding impressive titles. Dr. Andrew Pecora made the 2026 list, and it’s easy to see why.
Dr. Pecora is recognized not just for his medical research, but for health care and business delivery. That combination is rarer than it sounds. Most people are good at one or the other. Dr. Pecora has spent his career building both.
As chairman and CEO of Jersey City-based Outcomes Matter Innovations Management (OMI), he advocates on a national scale to help make medical practices more efficient and profitable while also improving patient care. That’s the kind of outcome-driven thinking that actually changes how care gets delivered, not just how it gets talked about.
Founded in 2018, OMI provides specialty physicians with decision support technology at the point of care, along with a novel reimbursement model, to enable value-based care programs that maintain or improve clinical outcomes and significantly reduce the cost of care. In plain terms: better decisions at the moment they matter most, with a payment model that rewards results instead of volume.
The track record backs it up. Last fall, OMI announced a partnership with Regional Cancer Care Associates to implement an Oncology Value-Based Care Program. And the company continues to grow, bringing on a new COO in January to continue OMI’s expansion.
Before OMI, Dr. Pecora spent three decades at Hackensack Meridian Health, where he founded and expanded the John Theurer Cancer Center. He’s a certified hematologist and oncologist, a leading global expert in blood and marrow stem-cell transplantation, cellular medicine and immunology research, and holds 70 patents spanning the life science and information technology domains.
What stands out isn’t just the credentials. It’s that Dr. Pecora has consistently asked the harder question: not just “does this treatment work?” but “can we deliver it in a way that’s sustainable, measurable, and scalable?”
That’s the kind of thinking health care needs more of.
If you’re a specialty physician or practice leader wondering whether value-based care could work for you, OMI is worth a serious look. See what they’re building at omihealthcare.com.
