Ryan Johnston, DO
In 2016, just a few years into his job as a hospitalist at Palomar Medical Center, Ryan Johnston, DO, was ready to push himself to the next level. He shared his aspirations with his medical director, who nominated him for Vituity’s hospital medicine (HM) administrative fellowship program.
“As a fellow, I quickly gained visibility into Vituity’s network of 2,200 physicians and 1,500 advanced providers. I squeezed four or five years of relationship building into one year, all while learning the business side of medicine from the best minds in our organization.
The highlight of my fellowship experience was the chance to complete one of my passion projects — improving patient mortality across Vituity HM sites. By implementing a new role of mortality champion at all sites, the program became a success at reducing mortality and also raised patient satisfaction scores. When we demonstrate improved quality, hospitals are willing to partner with us on initiatives and allocate new resources to our HM programs that help save lives.
Of course, my fellowship had a personal benefit as well. About three months in, I stepped into the role of Medical Director at Sonora Regional Medical Center.”
