This is a fantastic opportunity to lead and elevate nursing practice at the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.
MGH is a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB), an integrated, not-for-profit health system dedicated to advancing patient care, research, teaching, and community service through innovation and collaboration. MGH and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) – the system's two academic medical centers (AMCs) – anchor a comprehensive continuum of care that includes community and specialty hospitals, a managed care organization, a physician network, community health centers, home care, and other health-related services. MGH is consistently ranked among America's Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, offering sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic care in virtually every specialty and subspecialty of medicine and surgery.
Reporting to the MGH/Massachusetts General Physicians Organization Chief Operating Officer (MGPO COO) for operations and budgets and to the MGB Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) for quality, safety, education, scholarship, and Magnet designation, the SVP/CNO works collaboratively with the senior leadership team of the MGH and MGB. This includes participating in the planning for inpatient, outpatient, and community services and the development of innovative, high-quality clinical programs and initiatives. As a key operational leader of the largest clinical workforce across the organization, the SVP/CNO has a keen focus on the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of nursing care and implementation of innovative new care models. Collaborating with nursing leaders across MGB on standards and practices, the SVP/CNO has responsibility for all nursing practices across MGH sites. Further, the SVP/CNO shares accountability with the senior leadership team for the institution's financial performance, patient satisfaction, and promotion of a healthy workplace environment that cultivates a just culture of inclusion, mutual respect, and collaboration.
The successful SVP/CNO will have deep knowledge and experience in nursing practice, care management systems, quality and safety, innovation, and the implementation of best practices. Familiarity with nursing and medical research and a deep understanding of nursing education and development are desirable. This leader will be a skilled, direct communicator and will have a track record of enhancing the nursing workforce through the recruitment and retention of top nursing professionals. This highly visible role requires a relational, servant-leadership mindset grounded in mutual respect, transparency, humility, and accountability. Ideal candidates will be performance-oriented, operationally adept leaders passionate about enhancing performance in highly matrixed health system environments.
