Boston Medical Center hires first chief quality officer
Boston Medical Center has named its first high-level safety and quality officer.
Dr. William M. Barron (left) has been named vice president for quality and patient safety/chief quality officer for the hospital. The new position consolidates in one senior management position the safety responsibilities previously handled by the chief medical officer.
Barron, who was also appointed director of the Center of Clinical Quality Improvement at Boston University School of Medicine, comes to Boston from Loyola University Health System, where he was vice president of quality and patient safety and a professor in the departments of medicine and obstetrics and gynecology at Loyola University.
