Physician executive leadership for all the systems that support healthcare.
I bring the physician's clinical method to health systems: take the history, examine the work, read the data honestly, commit to a written diagnosis, then treat and follow up. When the seat is empty, I can hold it.
What a physician executive brings
Seven commitments behind every engagement, from the first interview to the day the work is handed over.
I evaluate your IT and informatics infrastructure through the eyes of practicing clinicians, and remove the friction they work around every day.
I audit struggling EHR rollouts, communication silos and data bottlenecks, and name the project risks before they become outcomes.
I design clinical workflows that intercept burnout, safety events and security liabilities before they reach the patient.
I align your informatics data with regulatory requirements, quality ratings and reimbursement, so the record supports the care and the revenue it earns.
I build the training, data governance and change-management plans that make adoption stick.
I protect core operations, data integrity and patient safety through major system migrations.
As interim CMIO or CHIO, I keep the work moving from inception through go-live, and past it.
Diagnose. Treat. Lead.
It starts free, with your own self-examination in the Exam Room, and moves only as far as your organization needs.
History & Physical
A targeted or complete workup, by interview and examination: complaints, vital signs, labs, the EHR, data lineage, safety, governance and the Diagnostician function, ending in my written diagnosis.
