Rebecca Baker, BSN, RN, BS Ed, ACHE, is a healthcare entrepreneur, educator, and value-based care architect based in Franklin, Tennessee. She is the Founder and Chief Clinical Integration Officer of Synergy 3C, a consulting firm dedicated to designing and operationalizing value-based care (VBC) and alternative payment models that align clinical outcomes with financial and operational performance. With more than three decades of experience spanning education, critical care nursing, and healthcare leadership, she is widely recognized for her ability to bridge clinical reality with scalable, financially sustainable care models.

Rebecca’s career began in education, where she taught high school English for six years before transitioning into nursing through an accelerated program. She began her clinical practice in 1991 in CVICU and trauma care settings in Memphis, Tennessee, where she developed deep expertise in high-acuity patient care. Her frontline experience exposed systemic inefficiencies in healthcare delivery, ultimately shaping her shift into value-based care strategy, population health, and care model transformation. Over time, she has held leadership roles in clinical operations, learning and development, and executive-level strategy within healthcare organizations, contributing to measurable improvements in quality outcomes and cost reduction.

Today, Rebecca leads Synergy 3C in partnering with health systems, primary care organizations, and rural health initiatives to implement scalable, tech-enabled value-based care strategies. Her work focuses on aligning care delivery with payment structures to reduce emergency utilization, improve chronic disease management, and enhance provider and patient experience. She is also actively engaged in rural health transformation efforts through academic and government partnerships in Tennessee, and she serves as a speaker, advisor, and mentor within the healthcare innovation community. Her professional philosophy centers on building care models that are scalable, replicable, sustainable, and outcome-driven, with a mission to make healthcare more effective, coordinated, and humane.
