Beloff Promoted to Vice President of Quality

Jennifer Beloff, RN, MSN, APN was recently promoted from executive director of Quality to vice president of Quality in the Department of Quality and Safety in recognition of her many accomplishments over the years and her increasing responsibilities within the department.

Beloff joined the Brigham in August 2008 as a senior consultant in the Center for Clinical Excellence. She led a number of multidisciplinary teams, collaborated with hospital leadership and clinical staff to identify and eliminate barriers to appropriate care and strategized and implemented hospital-wide interventions to achieve greater compliance with a multitude of clinical quality measures.

In January 2012, Beloff was promoted to director and subsequently, executive director, of Quality Programs at the Brigham. For the past eight years, Beloff and her dedicated team of quality program managers have successfully led the operational management, strategic planning, and performance of all commercial, state and federally funded pay for reporting (P4R) and pay for performance (P4P) programs, a combined portfolio totaling approximately $50 million in incentive, penalty and withhold payments, as well as the management and performance improvement efforts associated with a growing body of publicly reported and reputational ranking groups such as The Leapfrog Group and the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings.

In January 2017, in collaboration with the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology, Beloff helped establish the Clinical Pathways division within the Department of Quality and Safety where for the past three years she has been providing executive oversight for the program. Later that same year, in July 2017, Beloff also assumed executive oversight for the Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Program at the Brigham. To date, the Clinical Pathways team as well as the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology have successfully developed and implemented 11 Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathways (ERAS) and one Enhanced Recovery after Delivery (ERAD) pathway, earning the Brigham recognition as a Center of Excellence. The program has not only led to standardization in clinical care but has helped reduce surgical and postoperative complications and length of stay.
