Steven W. Bryant, Vice President and Managing Director

Mr. Bryant serves as vice president and managing director for The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro, Inc. He brings 20 years of experience in healthcare management and leadership to his work with hospitals and physicians nationwide.

Bryant is a strong proponent of the principle that hospitals and physicians should never do anything just to meet an accreditation standard. Instead, he helps them do the right thing to provide great patient care and run a great hospital, letting regulatory compliance be a byproduct. He is a popular speaker and author, with particular expertise in continuous survey readiness; using the accreditation process to improve quality; finding maximum flexibility in Joint Commission, CMS, and other standards; and helping physicians understand and get value out of the accreditation process

Prior to joining The Greeley Company, Bryant served as the vice president of field services at MedSafe, Inc., a regulatory compliance and consulting firm. He previously worked at Brockton (MA) Hospital as the administrative and fiscal director of safety and security, with responsibility for compliance monitoring and JCAHO coordination. He has also been an independent Joint Commission consultant.

Bryant holds a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration from Providence College. He is certified in healthcare safety management from the American Hospital Association and the American Society for Hospital Engineering.
