Chief Medical Officer - USA
While engaged with Optum Care, a subsidiary of United Health Group, Dr. Kapov held the position of Chief of Clinical Innovation for Southwest Medical, a large multispecialty group, in Las Vegas, NV. He was responsible for the creation of The Center for Clinical innovation. The center sponsored a number of novel programs one of which focused on the implementation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the primary care setting. Working closely with Optum Labs and the International Diabetes Center, the team implemented training for staff, providers, and patients regarding the use and utility of these devices. The team also created a program to familiarize new resident physicians in the application and interpretation of CGM data. Over several years, Dr. Kapov and his team refined the use of the devices and the reporting of data to gain a better understanding of the impact that the CGM device has on diabetic care. The team installed hundreds of devices over multiple clinics. Dr. Kapov was a co-investigator in several studies at Southwest Medical that brought about improvements in the treatment care path for the patient with Type 2 Diabetes. The centers' efforts provided not only CGM services but health coaching, activity trackers, and ambulatory glucose profiles which refined the treatment of diabetes.
During his tenure with Southwest Medical, Dr. Kapov also held the position of Senior Medical Director over primary care where he was directly responsible for the Adult Medicine Division presiding over 150 providers, 16 clinics, and caring for 350,000 patients while providing care for his own panel of patients.
