James A. Lapsley
Chief Executive Officer

Jim Lapsley became Chief Executive Officer for Loudoun Medical Group – a unique physician-owned, multi-specialty organization – when the group was established in June 2000. As CEO of LMG, Jim is responsible for negotiations and planning of managed care operations; billing and accounts receivable management; conversions and new system start up; human resources; accounting and financial functions; marketing and business planning; physician compensation management; and other practice operations within the group. He also offers executive leadership and provides professional guidance to clients of Century Management Company, a subsidiary management service organization (MSO) of LMG, PC.

Throughout his 15-year career, Jim has consistently played a vital executive role in business development and operating management for health care organizations. Prior to joining LMG, Jim served as vice president of the Loudoun Hospital Center for nearly two years. In that capacity, he was responsible for the organizational realignment of the hospital, streamlining the practices around a central, standardized operating business system. Following the Board’s decision to cease the hospital’s initial integration strategy, Jim developed a practice divestiture strategy, and managed the final negotiations between the departing physicians and Loudoun Hospital Center.

From 1997 to 1998, Jim worked at Inova Health System Integrated Physician Services as the chief operating officer, where he developed and lead the process of integrating the Alexandria Primary Care Network with the Integrated Physician Services when Inova Health Systems merged with Alexandria Hospital. He also directed the development of a long-range financial plan identifying revenue and expense trends as well as potential changes in contractual allowance due to the changing managed care environment.

In the four years prior to the merger, Jim was a key member of Alexandria Hospital’s management team, first as Administrator of Network Operations and then later as Executive Director of the Community Primary Care Network. During his tenure, Jim was responsible for all organizational development, as well as the operations and marketing functions for the dynamic health care organization, including business planning, marketing planning, site development, acquisitions and operations. He also directed practice acquisitions, developed a physician compensation and benefits program, crafted human resource policies, and implemented operational plans for the Network and each of its clinics.

Jim has held a number of other positions throughout his career, including Vice President of Physician Services for a large integrated delivery system in Kansas City, Missouri. Earlier, Jim held several positions where he was responsible for the coordination of facility design and construction projects and a variety of human resources functions, including the creation and implementation of orientation seminars, ongoing educational programs for physicians and ancillary personnel, as well as the administration of clinical operational policy and procedure, and the implementation of Quality Assurance Programs.

Jim earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Central Missouri State University in 1987, and a master’s degree in health services administration from Webster University in March 1994. He currently resides in Fairfax Station, VA, with his wife, Louella, and their son, Christopher.
