Hospital CEO McCabe ranks in nation's top 100 physician leaders
Upstate University Hospital CEO John McCabe MD, speaking at the opening earlier this year of Upstate Golisano After Hours Care, was just named to Becker‘s Hospital Review‘s list of 100 physician leaders of hospitals and health systems.
McCabe‘s inclusion on the list reflects his healthcare experience and his commitment to quality care, according to Becker‘s. Many leaders on the list were nominated by peers and this list then vetted by industry experts.
It‘s the third time Dr. McCabe has been recognized by Becker‘s in the past 18 months. Last year, Dr. McCabe appeared on two separate Becker‘s listings of top health system and hospital leaders. Dr. McCabe‘s selection is noted in Becker‘s Hospital Review.
This past year, Dr. McCabe oversaw Upstate‘s acquisition of Community General Hospital, creating the largest hospital in Syracuse. Since the opening last July, Upstate has introduced new services at what is now called its Community campus, including an epilepsy monitoring service, bariatric surgery, and pediatric after hours care.
Dr. McCabe has provided leadership for the launch earlier this year of an electronic medical record system that enables Upstate‘s outpatients to access their medical records through their smart phones, tablets and home computers. Dr. McCabe notes the introduction of the MyChart application reflects Upstate‘s commitment to quality and patient safety by enabling patients to build their own personal network of patient information.
Other highlights of his 23-year career at Upstate include the development of an Emergency Medicine residency training program, overseeing the opening and transition of patients into the Upstate University Hospital‘s East Tower and Upstate Golisano Children‘s Hospital, the development and opening of a mass casualty unit and upgraded infirmary at the New York State Fairgrounds, the development of an emergency medicine simulation center for training medical residents and the expansion of the hospital‘s Emergency Room.
Dr. McCabe‘s national leadership positions include service as chair of the board of directors of the American Board of Medical Specialties, the organization that oversees the certification of physician specialists in the United States.
In addition to his role as hospital CEO, Dr. McCabe serves as senior vice president for hospital affairs at Upstate Medical University.
