In this role, Dr. Masica focuses on the deployment of evidence-based practices into daily patient care as a driver of quality, safety and value across the Texas Health care continuum, which comprises 29 hospitals, 400-plus care access points, 6,8000 physicians and almost 29,000 employees. During his five years at Texas Health, Dr. Masica has helped lead a series of organizational accomplishments in the areas under his oversight, such as the deployment and operation of four integrated system-level clinical service lines and the expansion of Texas Health’s graduate medical education platform from a single program at one hospital to five programs across five hospitals. The Covid-19 pandemic was a primary focus of Dr. Masica’s early tenure and he served as clinical leader of the organization’s response, including the identification and deployment of practice standards, infection control measures, vaccination policies and use of therapeutics.
