100 Most Influential People in Healthcare – 2018
Rank 99
Derek Feeley
President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
As CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Feeley is focused on trying to get clinicians to reconnect to what first brought them to medicine. Or, in other words, bring joy back to their jobs. The IHI has launched several initiatives recently trying to address physician burnout. He said it is key that administrators and physicians work together on this front. And as the IHI and the National Patient Safety Foundation continue to merge operations, Feeley is confident that the combined quality and safety organization can provide more thought leadership on improving patient care.
