ABSTRACT
Pursuit of high-value healthcare is the common strategic theme for most health systems, physician groups, and payers today. New Care Management Platforms will integrate electronic health records (EHRs) across the continuum through interoperability, analytics, care management, and patient/consumer engagement modules. This chapter describes the evolution of the Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO's) role and responsibilities at each stage in the transition. A typical CMIO 1.0 is focused on adoption of the EHR within one entity—hospital or health system. The role of the CMIO 2.0 is more formal, more structured, and more strategic. The 2.0 CMIO is aligned with and often reports to Clinical leadership—the Chief Medical Officer, Chief Clinical Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, or Chief Integration Officer—often with a dotted line reporting relationship to the CIO. The Chief Health Information Officer (CHIO), a member of the C-Suite, collaborates with other leaders to drive the transformation to value-based care.
