The Newborn Nursery Medical Director (NMD) works collaboratively and in partnership with the Chair/Chief, Administrative Director, Nursing Director, Nurse Manager and Case Managers, ACMO for Inpatient Operations, Central Flow Unit, CMO and CNO to oversee the overall clinical operations of the Newborn Nursery. The NMD collaborates with the Chair/Chief, faculty, residency program, and BMC administration to improve performance in each of the six IOM quality domains - timeliness, safety, equity, efficiency, effectiveness, and patient centered care.

As part of this role, the NMD strives to build cooperative partnerships with internal and external stakeholders. It is expected that the NMD will, in conjunction with nursing leadership, provide oversight of the inpatient services and will support the strategic plan and goals of Boston Medical Center, the department/section, and BU Medical Group.

The NMD will be evaluated by the Chair/Chief (or designee) and administrative director and BMC inpatient leadership, using performance metrics established annually, with input from faculty, BMC operational and nursing leadership.
