Ms. Worthington provides enterprise leadership for clinical quality, patient safety and care delivery performance at Orlando Health, setting the organization’s quality strategy in partnership with the board of directors, senior leadership and medical staff. Ms. Worthington brings 30 years of healthcare operations experience to the role, a background that informed her approach of structuring processes so clinicians actively define and drive improvement while the system provides strategy, tools, analytics and accountability. A hallmark accomplishment has been implementing a standardized, systemwide quality scorecard and redesigning the organization’s monthly quality close to function with the rigor of a financial close, transforming it from a one-way summary into an engaged, performance-driven forum where site executives speak directly to local results and candidly address gaps. Every senior leader across Orlando Health participates in the monthly quality close, reinforcing shared accountability beyond clinical operations and accelerating the spread of effective interventions across sites. Ms. Worthington also serves as executive sponsor of the system’s workplace violence prevention steering committee and regulatory council, and is a member of the Florida Hospital Association quality and patient safety committee. She previously served as president of Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies and as COO of the same hospital.
