Dr. Pamela T. Johnson, FACR is the Sheldon B. Bearman M.D. Professor in the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the vice president of care transformation for the Johns Hopkins Health System. The care transformation mission is to execute the system's strategic priorities: Improve the Quality and Affordability of care, Aim for Precision, Make Hopkins Easy and Work Like One Organization. Through a programmatic strategy, Dr. Johnson's team engages front-line healthcare providers to implement initiatives that refine care in accordance with evidence-based practice and harmonize system-wide best practice standards. Johns Hopkins Hospital recognized this work with the 2017 and 2022 Innovations in Clinical Care awards, and in 2018, the Society of Hospital Medicine selected the health system high-value care team for the Excellence in Quality Improvement Teamwork award. In 2017, Dr. Johnson founded the High Value Practice Alliance (www.hvpaa.org), a consortium of medical centers collaborating on value-based care performance improvement, research and education. An annual conference - the Architecture of High Value Health Care – serves as the organizations cornerstone. Supported by two consecutive 3-year AHRQ grants, the meeting has served as a venue to disseminate more than 1000 value-based quality improvement and education initiatives championed by medical centers across the country. In 2023 and 2024, Becker's Healthcare identified Dr. Johnson as one of 39 Chief Transformation Officers to Know.
