Paul Bernard Convery, MD, MMM: a conversation with the editor
Paul B. Convery, MD, MMM, and William C. Roberts, MD
Paul Convery is senior vice president and chief medical officer for the Baylor Health Care System (BHCS). He joined the inner circle of BHCS in February 2006, having previously served as executive vice president and chief medical officer of SSM Health Care in St. Louis. SSM Health Care was the first health care winner of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Dr. Convery was with SSM Health Care from 1999 to 2006. In 2005, he served as interim president of 2 hospitals in St. Louis. Prior to joining SSM Health Care, Dr. Convery was the medical director of Southwest Medical Center, a large multispecialty group practice in St. Louis. He has experience in managed care and has served on both a hospital's and health system's board of directors. He practiced internal medicine for 22 years. In addition to his medical degree, he has a master's degree in medical management from Tulane University.
Dr. Convery is a splendid addition to the Baylor top hierarchy. He has lectured extensively on the topics of developing physician leadership; improving patient safety and clinical quality in health care; implementing the Malcolm Baldrige process for organizational improvement in health care; and transitioning to electronic health records. He is also a very nice guy, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to ask him some questions about himself and his career. I think he will have a major impact on BHCS, and I highly compliment Joel Allison and Gary Brock for bringing this outstanding man to the Baylor community.
