Four of the Boston Business Journal’s 2007 Champions in Health Care have strong ties to BWH. BWH’s Marshall Wolf, MD, and Anne Bane, MSN, RN, and PHS’s Thomas Lee, MD, and Matt Fishman were named 2007 Health Care Champions by the Boston Business Journal, claiming a place among the “best and brightest in the Bay State’s world-class health care industry,” according to the publication.
Wolf, vice chairman for Medical Education in the Department of Medicine and professor of Medicine at HMS, received the lifetime achievement award, and Bane, manager of Clinical Systems Innovations for the Department of Nursing, won in the nursing category. Lee took home a physician champion award, and Fishman was highlighted for community outreach.
Wolf is legendary for his decades-long commitment to teaching and launching the careers of some of medicine’s brightest stars. He helped shape the careers of more than 2,000 physicians, including three MacArthur geniuses, CEOs, hospital presidents and 700 full professors at leading medical institutions. As the director of BWH’s residency program from 1972 to 2000, Wolf led the program’s growth from 35 residents to 175 residents.
Bane is a national leader in patient safety, and her commitment to create safe care environments for patients and nurses is well-known at BWH. She worked hand-in-hand with physician, technology and pharmacy leaders to bring the clinical nursing perspective to BWH’s launch and implementation of its landmark electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR). She also led this transformation at the bedside, making sure nursing practice and patient safety were enhanced, not over-burdened, with this new technology.
Fishman, vice president for Community Health at Partners, is lauded for his work with Food for Families and Project Bread, which provide needy families with access to food stamps, free school meals and grocery store vouchers at local health centers. Fishman previously completed a Deland Fellowship at BWH and served as operations director in the Emergency Department.
Lee, network president of Partners HealthCare and CEO of Partners Community HealthCare, Inc., and senior physician at BWH, was recognized for his efforts to measure and improve the health care system. His goal is for safer, more reliable and efficient systems.
The winners are featured in the “Champions in Health Care” section of the Aug. 10 edition of the Boston Business Journal.
