Yisrael Safeek (/ˈsɑːfɛk ˈɪzriəl/) is an American physician, author, and healthcare software company executive.[1][2] For the past three decades, Safeek acted in various roles within the US healthcare system: doctor, medical director, hospital co-owner, Joint Commission surveyor, Malcolm Baldrige Board of Examiners, health system Chief Medical Officer, book author, speaker, and software developer.[3] Safeek made the short list for United States Undersecretary of Health.[4]

At Covenant, Safeek accelerated the implementation of advanced clinical technologies, facilitated the adoption of evidence-based medicine, and reduced the overuse and misuse of clinical resources. The network aligned hundreds of independent physicians with the health system's goals and yielded tangible outcomes in patient safety, quality, and efficiency of care. Between 2005 and 2014, Safeek was employed by The Joint Commission while he held certifications in the Hospital Accreditation Program (2005–2014), and the Outpatient-Based Surgery Program (2009–2014). In 2007, he was the first Kentucky physician appointed to the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award program.[5]

In 2017, Safeek published a seven-point Making American Healthcare Great Again[6] strategy. For each policy initiative, there was an outline of the Scope of the Problem; Policy Priorities; Deployment Phases; Special Considerations; and Accountability.[7] A copy of the document was sent to President Trump at the White House.[6]

Biography

Early life and education

Safeek was born in South America as the eldest child of Naz Safeek and Mark B. Safeek.[8] He attended Austin Peay State University.[9] He attended the Quillen School of Medicine at East Tennessee State University, graduating with a Doctor of Medicine degree.[10] After a general surgery internship, he completed his anesthesiology training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Later, he completed a Master of Business Administration degree in the University of Tennessee Physician Executive MBA program.[11]

Medical career

After medical training, Safeek became medical director at Cleveland Community Hospital while he established an independent anesthesia medical practice. He was also Pikeville Medical Center's Vice President of Clinical Affairs.[12] In the early 1990s, Safeek was a shareholder in Cleveland Community Hospital and CEO of medical practices and medical director of hospitals in Tennessee and Kentucky.[13]

The SafeCare Group

In 2010, Safeek founded the SafeCare Group,[14] a healthcare software firm specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) and non-AI SaaS applications.

CAUTI Bundle

Safeek published an open-source bundle (CAUTI Bundle)[15] in Physician Executive, the journal of the American College of Physician Executives, to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The CAUTI Bundle was later reprinted by Healthcare Financial Management Journal upon request as a tool to decrease the unnecessary financial cost from hospital-acquired urinary tract infections.[16]

National presentations

Between 2010 and 2011, he served on the Advocacy and Patient Safety task forces of the American College of Physician Executives.[17]
