Dan Like began at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in 2000, in the Department of Quality and Operations Improvement, where he helped develop the medical center’s first set of balanced scorecards that tracked overall performance across the academic medical center’s key performance indicators spanning research, education and patient care.
Dan was promoted to business manager of Information Technology and then to director of Strategic Planning and Business Development, where he helped lead the development of the medical center’s first strategic plan. This was a comprehensive plan that went from identification and development of a new mission and vision statements, to overarching goals, to program development plans and finally to updated performance measurements and scorecards.
In 2008, Dan was named executive director of Ambulatory Services to oversee the implementation of the medical center’s first ambulatory strategic plan by leading the creation of an ambulatory organizational-wide operating structure and executing the outpatient strategic growth initiatives for the medical center. Since that time, Dan has helped guide ambulatory’s significant growth and community outreach and impact. Today, Ambulatory Services includes well over 1 million square feet of space, more than 300 outpatient care clinics and departments and 2,000+ employees and serves more than 3 million outpatient visits per year.
Dan received a bachelor’s degree in Business from Miami University of Ohio and a Master of Health Administration degree from The Ohio State University.
