After 15 years of basic and clinical research in lung diseases of newborns, Dr. Jackson changed his major focus from research to neonatal medical direction, strategic planning, and business services. To improve his administrative skills, he completed the executive Masters in Health Administration at the University of Washington in 2007. He plans to continue his primary administrative activity as neonatal medical director at Seattle Children's Hospital, including quality improvement activities, and working with leaders in Perinatology at UW to build its program in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and fetal diagnostic services. He is co-manager of the Children’s Neonatology Value Stream process to continuously improve clinical outcomes and family-centered care.
