Raj Behal, MD, MPH, an internationally regarded expert in the field of patient safety, joined Stanford in May 2014 as the chief quality officer and associate dean for quality. Raj collaborates with clinicians to achieve Stanford’s organizational vision to be among the nation’s leaders in quality, patient safety and efficiency.  Raj developed the Lean Care Maps methods to analyse and reduce variations in care, manage outcomes, reduce costs of care, and to identify program growth opportunities.

 Significant reductions in costs, hospital length of stay and in inpatient mortality were achieved as a result of these initiatives. Raj led implementation of the medical home model in primary care practices to improve co-ordination of care for chronic diseases.  He has created structured methods for analysing and reducing sentinel events and mortality and worked with more than 40 US academic medical centre members to reduce mortality rates, improve patient safety and to redesign quality infrastructure. 

In this workshop Raj will focus on six key themes from Stanford’s Clinical Excellence Plan.  He will describe the plan and how Stanford is approaching each theme as well as share data and lessons learnt. 

  • 1.       Keeping patients safe
  • 2.       Improving patient survival
  • 3.       Excelling on national measures
  • 4.       Preparing for value based healthcare
  • 5.       Enhancing recovery, function and quality of life
  • 6.       Optimizing system for coordination and service excellence
