Barbara C. Johnson, PhD

In her role with TransforMED as a Practice Enhancement Facilitator, Barbara Johnson assists family medicine practices with implementing the TransforMED Model of Care. She is one of six facilitators implementing this model with practices around the country, utilizing data and observations gleaned from TransforMED's National Demonstration Project (NDP). TransforMED initiated the NDP to better understand the process of change in primary care practices moving toward the goal of becoming Medical Homes. TransforMED facilitators have developed expertise in working with practices in many areas of focus such as change management, practice finance, team-building, leadership development, practice efficiencies, developing and understanding practice metrics, and more.

Barbara has more than fifteen years experience implementing social change in both non-profit and for-profit organizations.  This experience includes designing and implementing strategic plans, developing change management programs, and leading mission critical projects. She has built and led strong teams, and revitalized organizations to create greater workplace satisfaction, efficiency, accuracy and cost effectiveness. Barbara directed one module of the National Institute of Health Infrastructure project to determine how the internet could be used to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of medical practices. Conflict Resolution and negotiation have been integral aspects of all Barbara's endeavors.
