Jonathan B. Perlin Biography
Dr. Jonathan B. Perlin, MD, PhD, MSHA, MACP, FACMI, is a physician executive whose career spans the academic, governmental, and private sectors in American healthcare. Perlin serves as the seventh president and chief executive officer of the Joint Commission enterprise, which includes Joint Commission, Joint Commission International, and the National Quality Forum. The Joint Commission accredits and certifies more than 22,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States.
Before joining the Joint Commission, Perlin was president of clinical operations and chief medical officer at HCA Healthcare. In this role, he led clinicians, data scientists, and researchers in developing a learning health system model to improve care across the system's 189 hospitals and 2,200 other locations. His team received national recognition for initiatives such as preventing elective pre-term deliveries, reducing maternal mortality, applying artificial intelligence to improve sepsis survival, and developing public-private-academic partnerships to enhance infection prevention and COVID-19 treatment. Perlin's CHARGE consortium collaborated with HCA, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and academic partners to create a reusable platform for accelerated research using real-world evidence from the care of more than 400,000 COVID inpatients.
Earlier, Perlin served as under secretary for health in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where he led the Veterans Health Administration in implementing a national electronic health record and achieving benchmark clinical performance. He initiated the Million Veterans Program to map genomes of one million veterans, advancing understanding of disease, therapy, and injury prevention for service members. Perlin also oversaw VA support for U.S. emergency medical response following September 11 and during Hurricane Katrina, maintaining patient and staff safety.
At the Joint Commission, Perlin has emphasized a data-driven approach to patient safety and quality improvement. Under his leadership, the organization eliminated or consolidated more than 400 requirements to streamline the accreditation process and reduce administrative burden. The Joint Commission has strengthened its focus on patient safety, access to care, and workforce well-being, while modernizing accreditation to support hospitals and health systems facing operational and clinical challenges. Perlin has been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare and received the American Hospital Association's Distinguished Service Award.
Perlin is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, where he has co-chaired action collaboratives on digital health, opioid response, and climate change. He holds faculty appointments at Vanderbilt University as clinical professor of medicine and health policy, and at Virginia Commonwealth University as adjunct professor of health administration. His honors include the Chairman's Medal from the National Patient Safety Foundation, the Founders Medal from the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, and honorary membership in the Special Forces Association and Green Berets.
