He served eighteen years as the head of that organization which grew to be the largest program of its kind devoted to cancer anesthesiology and critical care medicine. He also served for seven years as the Vice President of Medical Operations. His work leading the Institute for Cancer Care Innovation focused on research to demonstrate and improve the value of cancer care delivery based on the work of Harvard business School Professor Michael Porter.

Research Summary
Overview
We are studying the practical application of Michael Porter's value-based strategy to reform health care by examining best practices of integrated practice units, outcome measurement, cost measurement, value-based payment, episode based payment, regionalization of care, and national expansions of centers of excellence with a special emphasis on how information technology will influence the agenda. The specific information technology aspects include electronic medical records, personal health records, mobile technology, big data, and learning health systems.
