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.
