Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) - Michigan Medicine
The Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) will lead Michigan Medicine's information technology strategy and operations ensuring that their Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, systems and capabilities will enable the delivery of high-quality patient care, foster leading-edge biomedical and health sciences research and education, and drive operational excellence throughout our tripartite mission today and in the future. This role is critical in advancing our digital transformation initiatives and fostering organizational innovation. The CDIO will spearhead comprehensive digital strategies, leveraging current and emerging technologies to revolutionize patient care, clinical operations, research, education, and business processes. Technical expertise, administrative experience, strategic foresight, strong communication and collaboration skills are essential to this role. Michigan Medicine has launched an ambitious multi-year information technology plan. An initial focus will include completing the integration of Michigan Medicine and the UM Health Regional Network IT organizations. This will require harmonizing multiple organizations and varied systems, applications and processes to function as a cohesive central corporate service. This integration will lay the groundwork for implementing a unified electronic health record (EHR) system across UM Health. Another major initiative is migrating on-premises infrastructure to secure, scalable, cloud-based environments. Addressing these challenges calls for strategic leadership to balance ongoing IT operations while progressively adopting and integrating new technologies for the academic medical center, the UM Health regional network, and the medical school. The Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) will provide overall leadership and management for information technology and services across Michigan Medicine. As the senior IT leader for Michigan Medicine, the system CDIO will create collaboration across Michigan Medicine's IT services that span health care delivery, including the UM Health regional network, and support operations; basic, translational, and clinical research; health services and outcomes research; and education on a lifelong continuum.
