    HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS

    Dr. Joanne Mather Conroy has been named CEO at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, Burlington, Mass., and also will serve on the leadership team of Lahey Health, the medical center's parent. She begins her new duties July 10.

    Conroy, 58, has served for the past five years as chief healthcare officer at the Association of American Medical Colleges, where she has worked with teaching hospitals across the country to establish national health priorities. Prior to her AAMC post, Conroy served as the executive VP of Atlantic Health System, Morristown, N.J.

    Conroy was named one of Modern Healthcare's Top 25 Women in Healthcare in 2011.

    Charles Shields will become the new president and CEO of Kansas City, Mo.-based Truman Medical Centers, replacing veteran CEO John Bluford III, who plans to retire in July.

    Shields, 54, is currently COO of TMC Lakewood, one of the safety net system's two acute-care hospitals. At TMC Lakewood, Shields oversaw the addition of a birthing center, an imaging center, a center for breast cancer and the Fairmount Family Medical Care clinic, according to a news release.

    “Charlie was a great addition to the TMC team four years ago,” Bluford said, “and I am confident that he has exactly the right mix of business savvy, people skills and political acumen to lead Truman through today's rapidly changing healthcare landscape.”

    Shields served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1991 to 2002 and as a state senator from 2002 to 2010.

    Lisa Shannon has been named COO of KentuckyOne Health, Louisville, the largest health system in the state. Effective July 21, she will lead an executive team and be responsible for strategic and operational plans for the system's acute-care and ambulatory services.

    Shannon, 48, has more than 25 years of healthcare administration experience. Most recently, she worked as COO of Spectrum Health System, Grand Rapids, Mich., where she led efforts to boost margin and improve operations that helped the system reduce costs by $170 million over two years.

    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    Athenahealth, a Watertown, Mass., developer of cloud-based practice management, electronic health-record and mobile health systems, is looking for a new, permanent CFO after Tim Adams, its CFO for nearly five years, announced he is leaving to become the CFO of Demandware, a Boston-based developer of software for online retailers.

    Athenahealth VP and Controller Karl Stubelis has been named acting CFO while a search for Adams' successor is underway.

    Adams will remain with the company through the end of May, after which he will take on a paid advisory role through June and July to help with the search and the transition for the next CFO, according to a news release.

    PATIENT SAFETY, QUALITY

    Dr. David Stockwell has been named VP of clinical services for Pascal Metrics, a Washington-based patient-safety organization specializing in the use of real-time clinical data to improve safety in healthcare settings.

    Board certified in pediatric medicine and pediatric critical care, Stockwell, 46, previously served as executive director of improvement science and medical director of the pediatric ICU at Children's National Medical Center in Washington. He co-leads a national research effort to develop a pediatric patient-safety measurement system, funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and heads the Automated Adverse Event Detection Collaborative, a group of children's hospitals across the U.S. investigating automated adverse-event detection.
