Hospital leadership has an instrumental role in fostering patient safety. This cross-sectional study examined differences in hospital quality measures between hospitals who have a physician chief executive officer (CEO) vs. those who have a non-physician CEO. Researchers identified a correlation between hospitals with a physician CEO and patient willingness to recommend the hospital, but did not find any significant relationship between CEO background and performance on quality metrics.
