Thomas Dehn, M.D., F.A.C.R.
Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Thomas Dehn brings many years of thought leadership, clinical expertise and research to his role as executive vice president and chief medical officer of National Imaging Associates (NIA). To further solidify his stature in the medical community, Dr. Dehn, was named one of the nation's top 20 most influential people in radiology by Diagnostic Imaging magazine.
After a period of public service that parallels most of his career as a practicing diagnostic radiologist, Dr. Dehn served as chair of the American College of Radiology's Task Force on Managed Care. Other contributions to the medical community include: serving on the clinical faculty of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), writing several of the earliest articles on quality assurance in radiology and, in the past several years, organizing and presenting numerous seminars on the inter-relationship of imaging appropriateness and health care reform.
Dr. Dehn participated in the development of the Medicare peer review program and he served as the organization's national president for several years. In that capacity, he frequently participated in congressional hearings on the cost and quality of health care and he gained considerable knowledge of the evolving role of managed care at a time when it was thought of as an 'alternate' delivery system. Dr. Dehn continues to publish information helpful to both radiologists and policymakers with respect to imaging economics.
Additionally, Dr. Dehn participated in the founding and served as the president of one of Milwaukee's largest IPA model HMOs. He attended Marquette School of Medicine and completed his residency in diagnostic radiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
