Jordan Ballam

Adjunct Instructor

Master of Healthcare Administration

Adjunct Instructor

Jordan began his career with Intermountain Health working in the emergency room of Logan Regional Hospital. He spent late nights helping uninsured and immigrant patients with financial assistance and gained a love for both healthcare finance and helping patients in need. He graduated from Utah State University with an undergraduate degree in Biology & Chemistry. During his time at USU, Jordan enjoyed working in a Biological Engineering research lab that genetically modified and cloned goats to extract spider silk from the goats’ milk. This experience ignited Jordan’s interest in analytics and research.

In 2014, Jordan moved to Salt Lake City and accepted an analytics role with the University of Utah Decision Support team within the Finance Department. In this role, he established the framework for MyChart reporting that is used across the U Health system and supported the Department of Surgery, Respiratory Therapy, and Equity of Care for minority ethnicities/transgender patient populations. He then joined the primary care community medical group associated with the university and has enjoyed leading medical group finance and analytics since that time. Jordan currently is employed as Chief Financial Officer with University Medical Partners (UMP) in association with Stanford Healthcare in Newark, California. UMP is a 300-employee physician group that handles over 1 million patient visits per year across a wide range of specialties in over 35 clinical sites.

Jordan’s technical expertise is primarily focused on SAP Business Objects, Tableau, and SQL; and he enjoys anything that can be put into a spreadsheet. His experience includes both inpatient and ambulatory finance and using advanced analytical skills to make operational decisions. Jordan is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and recently obtained certification as a Public Accountant (CPA) in the state of Utah. He is a Tableau Desktop Certified Associate and obtained both a Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP) and a Certified Specialist Business Intelligence (CSBI) from the Healthcare Financial Management Association. He also obtained a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt from the University of Utah.

Jordan lives in Lehi, Utah with his wife and two sons. If any free time can be found, you will find Jordan playing pickleball or basketball, woodworking in his garage, or arguing the benefits of a well-maintained personal finance plan
