Mark V. Williams, MD, FACP, MHM, is the Director of the Center for Health Services Research. He is also Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at University of Kentucky, as well as Chief Quality & Transformation Officer at UK HealthCare. After graduating from Emory University School of Medicine, he completed a residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Williams established the first hospitalist program at a public hospital in 1998, and built two of the largest academic hospitalist programs in the U.S. at Emory (1998-2007) and Northwestern (2007-2013) Universities. A Past President of the Society of Hospital Medicine and the Founding Editor of the Journal of Hospital Medicine, he actively promotes the role of hospitalists as leaders in delivery of health care to hospitalized patients. He serves as Principal Investigator for SHM’s Project BOOST (Better Outcomes by Optimizing Safe Transitions). With previous funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The John A. Hartford Foundation, Aetna Foundation, California Health Care Foundation, NIND, HHS, AHRQ, BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois, and PCORI and more than 100 peer-reviewed publications including in journals such as JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, and Annals of Internal Medicine, Dr. Williams focuses on quality improvement, care transitions, teamwork and the role of health literacy in the delivery of health care.
