Get to know Thomas Bauld, who worked in Michigan.
New York City, New York Sep 1, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Thomas is a biomedical engineer who is retired from practice. During his active years on the job, from November 2007 - June 2016, he worked at the VHA National Center for Patient Safety Home (NCPS) in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Namely, he worked on the transition of enteral feeding components to avoid adverse events due to tubing misconnections. He always enjoyed working and making presentations with nurses, physicians and patient safety professional groups building collaborations, effective teams and promoting clinical engineering.
The NCPS promotes best practices for safe patient care and optimal patient care utilization throughout the organization. Accordingly, NCPS guides the VHA and external stakeholders on policies and strategies to do the following: measure and mitigate harm to the Veteran and those who support their care; track utilization and address deficient patient admission and discharge practice; model characteristics of a High Reliability Organization, including promotion of clinical team training and a just and safe culture; and evaluation of healthcare solutions, technology, and innovations from a patient safety and value-based perspective.
In regards to his educational background, Thomas graduated with his Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.) in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from the said establishment in 1972.
While finishing his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, he changed direction from fundamental research to an applied biomedical engineering career partly by self-study of the field which was then focusing on the narrow issue of medical device leakage currents.
After starting the first department of Biomedical Engineering at Sinai, Thomas soon began networking with other managers in the Southeast Michigan area and in 1975, began organizing the Michigan Society of Clinical Engineers, which later widened its membership and its educational offerings to include biomedical engineering technicians and changed its name to the Michigan Society for Clinical Engineering. He co-chaired 3 AAMI Regional Meetings at five-year intervals in Southeast Michigan.
While at the University of Michigan Hospitals, where he initiated 24 x 7 service coverage, Thomas was among the Founders of ACCE and chaired the Committee that formulated the definition of a Clinical Engineer. For AAMI, he has been on the Board, chaired the Awards Committee, and served as the Engineering VP.
Along with a talented group of BMETs with Associate Degrees, Thomas helped develop a two-plus two-year Bachelor's Degree program in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Technology at Eastern Michigan University in 1996.
Among his other various positions, he served as district manager at ARAMARK Healthcare (1999 - 2006) and as a biomedical engineer at Aramark CTS (1999 - 2006).
With deep curiosity and good preparation, as well as a passion for improving patient safety, Thomas was honored with the Clinical Engineer of the Year Award in 1985 (only awarded every 5 years). He also received the Tom O'Dea Advocacy Award from the American College of Clinical Engineering in 2017, given to an individual who has written articles, given presentations, or led efforts that have advanced the field of CE - particularly in promoting the profession to people in other related fields.
