Dr. Boord has served as Parkview Health’s chief quality and safety officer since 2015, providing oversight of quality management, accreditation, medical staff services, infection prevention and workplace safety across a 15-hospital nonprofit community health system with more than 17,500 employees. His most recent systemwide focus has been hand hygiene compliance, which rose from approximately 89-91% in the first half of 2024 to sustained rates of 95-96% by mid-2025, supported by an increase in monthly observations from roughly 12,500 to more than 18,000. In fall 2025, five of Parkview’s seven eligible Indiana hospitals earned “A” safety grades from The Leapfrog Group, representing five of the 15 “A” grades awarded statewide. Parkview’s flagship hospital, Parkview Regional Medical Center, has received 23 “A” grades out of its last 25 Leapfrog report cards. Dr. Boord has also driven measurable workforce safety improvements, with the system’s OSHA-recordable injury rate declining from 4.9 incidents per 100 full-time employees in 2014 to 3.6 in 2025. Meanwhile the days away, restricted, or transferred rate fell from 2.9 to 1.6 over the same period. He is currently leading a systemwide workplace violence prevention initiative that includes new risk analysis tools and a reporting system for identifying trends.
