Tejal Gandhi, MD, in October was named executive director of Quality and Safety in the Center for Clinical Excellence after seven years as the center’s director of Patient Safety.
In her new role, Gandhi will continue to lead the patient safety efforts at BWH and Faulkner Hospital, overseeing measurement and improvement of publicly reported quality measures and the successful attainment of safety and quality-related pay for performance targets.
“Tejal has been instrumental to the ongoing success of BW/F patient safety efforts,” said Michael Gustafson, MD, MBA, vice president for Clinical Excellence at BW/F. “She is a leading figure nationally and internationally on ambulatory patient safety, as well as on the use of technology in improving health care quality and patient safety.”
Gandhi co-chairs the Partners HealthCare High Performance Medicine initiative on patient safety, leading the system-wide effort to standardize and disseminate patient safety best practices across all Partners institutions.
