Mr. Warren designs, implements and leads enterprise quality and patient safety programs across Ochsner Health’s 46-hospital system, serving as the organization’s subject matter expert in national benchmarking and comparative quality analytics.

He designed and administered Ochsner Health’s initial in-house Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality hospital survey on patient safety culture and led The Joint Commission “ORO 2.0” high reliability organization assessments for hospital boards, creating a consistent foundation for governance and safety culture measurement across the system’s growing enterprise. Mr. Warren led the system’s first enterprisewide falls prevention collaborative and served as primary architect of the organization’s root cause analysis and action program, developing the first systemwide toolkit and advancing human factors principles in event reporting.
