LLU Medical Center’s Chief of Quality and Patient Safety Ihab Dorotta, MD, has received national recognition as one of 2020’s “50 Patient Safety Experts to Know,” by Becker’s Hospital Review. Dr. Dorotta is the only patient safety expert in Southern California to receive the honor this year.
Under his leadership, the safety team was able to improve the hospital’s Leapfrog recognition to a Grade A hospital for both the University Hospital and East Campus Hospital two years in a row. His leadership also led the way for improving the hospital’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services quality rating score to a 3-star hospital.
