Director Andy Bindman Leaving AHRQ

Andy Bindman, M.D., the agency’s director since May 2016, is leaving AHRQ as part of the presidential transition and returning to the University of California San Francisco as a primary care physician and health services researcher. Bindman’s tenure at AHRQ featured an emphasis on the learning health care system, a concept that calls for the increased use of evidence to improve the quality, safety and value of heath care. A centerpiece of that theme is AHRQ’s Comparative Health System Performance Initiative, a project designed to define and share the characteristics of the highest-performing health systems. Bindman’s time at AHRQ was also highlighted by the Sept. 28 AHRQ Research Summit on Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a milestone event attended by safety experts from across the country. “I'm sad to leave such a wonderful group of colleagues but look forward to observing and finding ways to contribute to AHRQ's ongoing success from afar," Bindman said. Deputy Director Sharon Arnold, Ph.D., will serve as the Agency’s acting director. Access Bindman’s final blog post, “Bringing Moneyball to Medicine.”
