J. Timothy Murphy MD
Murphy has distinguished himself during his 30-year career in academic and private practice family medicine, quality assurance and public service. During his 13 year tenure on the full time faculty in Family Medicine at UCLA, he was very active in both teaching in the residency program and in his own faculty practice, and he was the director of the medical school curriculum in Family Medicine.
Over that time, Dr. Murphy was an integral part of the growth of the Family Medicine faculty group from a nucleus of three, in a fledgeling Division, to a robust faculty of twenty in an independent Department, with an expanded residency program, a fellowship program, and the busiest outpatient area in the UCLA Center for Health Sciences. Dr. Murphy resigned his position as Adjunct Associate Professor in 1992 to go into private practice in northern California, where he developed a practice that has served as a model for the community by incorporating a team approach to primary care with an expanded role for mid-level providers and by leading the implemention of an office based electronic health record that has linked the majority of private practices across the community.
Since his arrival in Marin County, he has been vigorously engaged in regional health planning, serving on the boards of the local IPA, the local hospital, and now the Sutter West Bay Regional Hospitals Board. He has been deeply committed to quality in health care, most visibly during his extended term as Chief of Staff of his local hospital, on various quality committees, and through his instrumental participation in the first Sutter Blue Ribbon Quality Excellence Team. The latter was a group of 15, chosen from across the Sutter Health System, that made detailed site visits to six health care systems that had the highest national rankings for quality, distilled the information gained to a number of key elements, and then transformed the approach to health care quality across the Sutter Health System.
Dr. Murphy completed his BA in Biological Sciences at Stanford University, a Master’s in Bacteriology and Public Health at Washington State University, his MD at University of Washington, and his Family Medicine residency at UCLA. He has also served as a past team physician for the US Olympic Water Polo team and in the Peace Corps in Bolivia. As a Source 44 Advisory Board member and Chief Medical Director, Dr. Murphy leads the Source 44 team in the integration of Carbon footprinting and environmental sustainability with quality assurance programs within healthcare organizations.
