Dr. Berkowitz is a former Chief Medical Officer and well-known in the Healthcare Quality industry, providing consulting services to hospitals across the nation. The management team of Statistical HR bring together PhD level predictive modeling expertise and decades of executive search and recruiting leadership.

Dr. Berkowitz said “The number one mistake I see hospitals routinely make is hiring the wrong person for their organization. Hiring the wrong person can not only set back a hospital’s performance, but can also be a major expense that is completely avoidable. Across the nation, I often see hospitals hire quality doctors, however, these doctors do not always fit the individual culture of the hospitals or organizations by which they were hired. Through the highly sophisticated algorithmic matching capabilities and the in-depth screening by a former CMO, Physician Scout is positioned to help hospital management identify perfectly matched talent.”

Dr. Berkowitz has over 25 years’ experience in health care management and consulting and in February of 2014, was appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Texas Institute for Healthcare Quality and Efficiency.He also sits on the Board of the Texas Association for Healthcare Quality, the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, and has served on the board of the Texas Hospital Association and the Texas Health Care Information Council.
