Thomas Bartman, MD, PhD

Dr. Bartman completed his pediatric residency and neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship at The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). His postdoctoral research using zebrafish at UCSF’s Cardiovascular Research Institute, discovered that biomechanical forces in the developing embryonic heart control later steps of structural development. He continued his research founding the zebrafish research program at Cincinnati Children’s and authoring numerous peer reviewed publications and research studies.
At Nationwide Children’s, Dr. Bartman will be responsible for directing and coordinating quality improvement efforts across our system of neonatal nurseries. Currently, these efforts occur in conjunction with the Vermont Oxford Network (VON), the Children’s Hospital Neonatal Consortium (CHNC), the Ohio Perinatal Quality Consortium (OPQC), the Neonatal Research Network (NRN), and Ohio Better Birth Outcomes (OBBO), in addition to internal efforts on improving safety of care. His areas of initial focus will be on reducing medication errors, reducing the readmission rate for recently discharged newborns, and assisting OBBO in reducing the prematurity rate in our local area. Finally, he will be working with senior leadership to teach other Nationwide Children’s faculty and employees about Quality Improvement Science.
