WORK HISTORY
Chief Medical Informatics Officer @Optum
Seattle, WA, US
In my evolving role at Optum, I help drive the strategic direction of clinical technology integration and clinician enablement across Optum Health. I lead initiatives that enhance patient care workflows, ensure compliance, evolve our care model and have overseen large-scale Epic deployments across the Mtn West and California. My leadership in the Digital First pillar for the PNW has resulted in a highly recognized digital ecosystem that has improved access, lowered the cost of care and improved clinical outcomes. I am part of the Senior Leadership team in the PNW, where I help lead our nearly clinicians. More broadly for Optum, I help lead national governance for EHRs and other clinical technologies, am heavily involved in care model design and am a clinical representative on the UHG AI Review Board.
