Executive Administrative Dir.
Massachusetts General Hospital is seeking a collaborative administrative leader to assume the position of Executive Director, Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine
A remarkable legacy, a brilliant future. The Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine (DACCPM) at Massachusetts General Hospital traces its roots to October 16, 1846, when Boston dentist William Thomas Green Morton, in front of a crowd of skeptical onlookers, including the eminent Boston surgeon John Collins Warren, administered diethyl-ether vapors to a patient about to undergo a surgical operation. Moments later, the surgeon raised a scalpel and made an incision in the patient's neck. To the audience's astonishment, the patient did not scream. Gentlemen, the flinty Surgeon-in-Chief later stated, this is no humbug. At Mass General, which opened its doors in 1821, only one operation a week was performed in the years preceding the ether demonstration. After that historic event, surgery flourished as a field with new and complex operations. Today, DACCPM provides coverage for more than 50,000 procedures in 67 operating rooms and 25 additional locations on the main hospital campus.
This history illustrates the continued commitment of the MGH Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine clinicians and staff to the compassionate, state-of-the-art anesthetic and perioperative care they provide patients of the Mass General and associated hospitals. Now the MGH DACCPM seeks a dynamic, experienced, strategic-thinking Executive Director to lead the dedicated and talented team of administrators, clinicians, nurses, researchers and support staff who make MGH a national leader in delivering the best patient care.
The Executive Director is the senior administrator in the DACCPM reporting to the Chief of Anesthesia, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine and the Senior Vice President for Surgery, Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Cancer Services and Clinical Business Development. This vibrant department encompasses 300 FTEs in financial, clinical and administrative roles; and an additional 300 physician, trainee, and research FTEs. The Executive Director will have direct responsibility for a $100M clinical department budget including oversight of technical and professional operating budgets, capital budgets, research grants, endowments, physician compensation plans, and business planning efforts. The Executive Director will also support the Chair, Vice Chairs, Division Chiefs and faculty in the development and implementation of strategy and policies; will plan, lead, organize and direct the business affairs of the Department; and represent the Chairman and Department in interfaces with the MGH, MGPO, Partners HealthCare System, Harvard Medical School, other departments, affiliate hospitals and other external constituents.
The Executive Director will direct a highly successful multidisciplinary center, overseeing an extremely talented leadership team while balancing competing interests and strategically planning for opportunities at the center, hospital and system-wide levels. Responsibilities include management of departmental operations, programmatic/strategic and project development, long-range planning, new business initiatives, human resources, finances, research, education and training, professional billing, compliance, legal and regulatory issues, quality and safety issues, facilities and information systems, marketing, network development and development/fund-raising.

Business planning for provision of anesthesia and pain medicine services at new facilities and outlying community hospitals
