Arkansas Children’s has appointed Alison Ziari, MD, MS, as senior vice president of the Arkansas Children’s Practice Plan and president of the Arkansas Children’s Professional Services Organization (ACPSO).
Ziari will oversee the strategic management and operational transformation of hospital-based and outpatient medical practices. Her responsibilities include fiscal management, provider deployment, and the enhancement of quality metrics across the system. She will lead the ACPSO in centralizing professional revenue cycle functions — including billing, coding, and payer enrollment — to provide greater coordination and support for clinicians.
Ziari joins Arkansas Children’s with more than 20 years of leadership experience. She most recently served as chief clinical and operations officer for Swedish Medical Group within the Providence Swedish Health System in the Pacific Northwest. In that role, she supported more than 1,300 clinicians across 100 plus clinics, advancing system-wide innovations in care delivery and physician engagement.
