Intermountain Health Names Cara Camiolo, MD, New Chief Quality and Safety Officer
After an extensive national search, Intermountain Health has selected Cara Camiolo, MD, as Intermountain’s chief quality and safety officer.
Dr. Camiolo is currently the chief medical officer for Intermountain Health’s Desert Region, which includes southwestern Utah and southern Nevada, and will begin her new position immediately.
Dr. Camiolo has also served as a service line leader of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, as well as Pain Management, and an associate chief medical officer of Clinical Shared Services.
Her leadership and dedication to quality and safety has guided Intermountain’s Desert Region to top performance in acute care quality for the last two years – and a five-star quality performance for Medicare Advantage members in Nevada.
In her new role, Dr. Camiolo will lead Intermountain Health’s Clinical Excellence team to further enhance a centrally led, locally deployed model, meeting the needs of local facilities, markets, regions, and the enterprise, while advancing proactive care across the Intermountain Health system.
“Dr. Camiolo is a proven champion of quality and safety. I’m excited for her to lead our amazing Clinical Excellence team that has helped to propel Intermountain to industry-leading top decile performance,” said JP Valin, MD, Intermountain Health chief clinical officer.
“I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Raj Srivastava, MD, who has served as interim chief quality and safety officer since September, and to the entire Clinical Excellence team for their unwavering support of our care teams and our healing mission,” Dr. Valin added.
Dr. Camiolo earned her medical degree at Drexel University. She also has a master’s degree in medical management from Carnegie Mellon and a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and history from Rosemont College.
“I am excited to step into this role and champion the important work of the Clinical Excellence team,” Dr. Camiolo said. “It is an honor to serve our patients in this new capacity, and I look forward to working with teams across the organization to advance Intermountain's commitment to excellence in quality, safety and experience."
