Jennifer Bailey Appointed Senior Director of Quality, Safety and Service Analytics

To Johns Hopkins Health System employees

Dear Colleagues:

We are delighted to announce that Jennifer Bailey, R.N., M.S., has been appointed the new senior director of quality, safety and service (QSS) analytics. Data and analytics are key infrastructure elements needed for Johns Hopkins Medicine to achieve our quality, safety, service and value missions. There has been an evolution of the data and analytics teams for several years, organized through the Data Trust Council. Recognizing that aggregating among analytic teams remained a gap in our infrastructure, the Armstrong Institute created this new role for a senior director of QSS analytics.

Jenny is well-known to many as a data and analytics expert and is well-respected for her ability to bring teams together through structure and relationship building. Jenny already serves as senior director for quality, safety and service for the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians and the Armstrong Institute; adding this aggregation role for analytics helps to converge the relationship between the data, analytics and end-user interfaces. In this capacity, Jenny will report to Renee Demski, vice president of quality for the Armstrong Institute.

The scope of this role includes the continuum of care for inpatient care, ambulatory offices and procedures, and home care, as well as the five Armstrong Institute domains of (1) patient safety/risk, (2) publically reported measures/outcomes, (3) patient experience, (4) value and (5) health equity. The person in this role will lead a single QSS analytic team, bringing together the current analytic leads in the Armstrong Institute domains and continuum of care. This QSS Analytic Team will work closely with the other eight analytic teams within the Data Trust, especially the Population Health and Care Coordination analytic teams, and will work through the Data Trust Clinical and Quality Data Subcouncil for matters of policy and governance. Key responsibilities for this role include: (1) convening and coordinating QSS analytics, (2) developing a QSS analytic strategy, (3) developing standards, (4) improving efficiency, (5) aggregating data and (6) optimizing Johns Hopkins Medicine electronic health record and business intelligence tools to support QSS.

We are grateful to Jenny and optimistic that this role, through aggregation, will enhance the efficiency and efficacy of our teams, assisting our end users with access to meaningful data and analytics.

Sincerely,

Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D.
