Brent C. James, MD
Brent C. James, MD, is Executive Director of the Institute for Health Care Delivery Research
and Vice President of Medical Research and Continuing Medical Education at Intermountain Health Care.
For more than 20 years, Dr. James has championed the standardization of clinical care through
data collection and analysis on a wide variety of treatment protocols and complex care processes.
In the tradition of medical pioneers Florence Nightingale and Abraham Flexner, James has devoted
himself to using quality improvement tools to better understand the cause and effect relationship
between various practice and environmental factors. Today, nearly 100 years after his mentors’
groundbreaking discoveries, Dr. James firmly believes that the practice of medicine and delivery
of health care stands at another critical crossroads.
If the health care field is to successfully bridge the quality chasm defined by the Institute of
Medicine, a new and innovative approach to the practice of health care is mandatory. Dr. Brent James
feels strongly that the time has come to shift from the “craft-based” practice to evidence-directed
teams focused on patient care.
In addition to his duties at Intermountain Health Care, Dr. James is adjunct professor at the University
of Utah School of Medicine, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine. He also holds a Visiting
Lectureship in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health.
In addition, Brent James is a member of a number of national taskforces and committees that examine
health care quality and cost control, including AHRQ and his most recent appointment by the Federal
Comptroller to an advisory group on making American health care more accessible and affordable.
In 2005, Dr. James received an award from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
recognizing his vision and energy in making the U.S. health care system better.
