About Lewis L. P.
With over 20 years of experience in leading patient care services and nursing systems, I am a seasoned healthcare executive who strives to drive operational excellence and improve patient care outcomes. I currently serve as the Vice President - Patient Care Services, CNO at WVU Medicine Thomas Hospital, where I oversee the day-to-day operations of 358-bed hospital that provides high-quality care to the rural community.In my previous roles, I have demonstrated my ability to strategize, collaborate, and implement effective solutions that drive organizational success. I have achieved and maintained exceptionally low CAUTI and CLABSI rates in specific areas for more than a year, implemented evidence-based practices for hospital throughput that significantly improved order-to-discharge time and patient satisfaction, and spearheaded a nationwide initiative for nursing students that led to an 86% retention rate among newly licensed nurses. I have also gained expertise in operations management, policy development, team leadership and development, budget and P&L management, and business planning. I am passionate about fostering professional growth and development, enhancing patient safety and quality, and optimizing patient care in the healthcare industry.
