  • Siemens taps Harvard prof to replace interim health care CEO
    Siemens AG’s (NYSE:SI) healthcare division tapped neuro-radiologist Dr. Gregory Sorenson to replace Randy Hall as CEO of Siemens Healthcare in the U.S. and Canada. Hall has acted as interim CEO since April 2010, when former CEO Michael Reitermann moved to a new role in the company’s diagnostics division. Sorenson, 49, is the co-director of the A.A.

  • Comparative effectiveness institute names first director
    The controversial Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute named healthcare researcher Joe Selby as its first executive director. Selby is a health services researcher who has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles. He oversees a staff of more than 550 as director of division research at Kaiser Permanente. As a family physician, clinical epidemiologist, and health services researcher, Selby said he’d like to use his position at the institute to "make a difference in the lives of patients."

    Selby will identify opportunities and issues, and implement programs under the authority of PCORI’s board of governors. A key component of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act, the institute is an independent non-profit organization focused on comparative effectiveness research, which examines health outcomes and effectiveness of various medical treatments. The effort has met with much criticism from those who argue that comparative effectiveness research negatively affects patient options by giving preference to one-size-fits-all treatments that fail to consider unique patient circumstances.
