I’ll remind folks that I have an “About” page that speaks to the role of CMIO, here: https://ctlin.blog/about/.
An excerpt:
…being a CMIO
A good CMIO installs an electronic health record (EHR).
A great CMIO sees the EHR as a building block for excellent clinical care.
A good CMIO teaches physicians to use the EHR.
A great CMIO listens, learns, and removes barriers to inspire creative and collaborative use of the EHR.
A good CMIO hires people for informatics / EHR work.
A great CMIO builds teams that perform better than any individual could.
A good CMIO communicates well.
A great CMIO builds trust so that constant change & improvement is not scary.
We believe that a high-functioning EHR is the central nervous system of a group of dedicated physicians, nurses, staff and patients, who work together to improve the health of individuals and communities.
I think Centaur teams are the only way forward in healthcare. In chess competitions now, hybrid human/computer teams regularly outperform both humans alone, and computers alone. These so-called Centaur teams (in Greek mythology, half human, half horse) are all the rage.
“We improve physician and team wellness and effectiveness by building extraordinary relationships and innovative tools.”
