Mark Moffitt, MBA, BSEE’s Summary

A CIO needs to have good managerial and leadership skills and have experience in the "bits and bytes" of healthcare IT software. He or she must have experience with the layers beneath the application layer in order to create a roadmap of how to best integrate systems. Otherwise the CIO becomes too reliant on vendors or is chasing the latest "new thing." Either can cost a healthcare organizations money and limit features delivered to customers.

A CIO with the vision and experience (healthcare AND software) to build custom enterprise software can save a healthcare organization MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. These CIOs provide functionality that starts with "How do you want it to work" instead of "This is how it works."

I’ve been involved with two hospital-built, commercial-grade EMR software projects at Vanderbilt Medical Center (visionary: Bill Stead), M.D. Anderson (visionary: Chuck Suitor).

At GSMC we are integrating clinical systems with web services and building a single, modern, web-based user interface to simplify viewing and updating clinical information. This is a "best-of-breed" approach using web services and custom software to provide seamless integration.

CIO

GSMC

(Hospital & Health Care industry)

2008 — Present (1 year )

Implemented a web services framework that provides access to clinical data from multiple systems without a clinical data directory. This framework supports multiple types of access including an iPhone version that offers customized features not available on commercial systems; and a browser version for use on a PC.

See: http://vhatv.vha.com/media/2009/vha/FutureTrends-GSMC.asx

iPhone application has over 75 physicians using the system; includes the following features:
1. 4 digit PIN access using large virtual keypad
2. Patient list, Group practice list, ED physician list, rounding list
3. Lab, Meds, H&P and Discharge Summary Reports
4. Radiology dictation and reports
5. ED physician documentation
6. Future - Use iPhone to dictate reports

Working on a new conceptual model for CPOE - CPOE without the "POE"

Deploying Meditech Magic at Marshall facility using internal IS staff saving the organization between $500 thousand and $1 million in consulting fees.

Deploying desktop standard using Apple Mac-mini running W7 RC; then W7. Advantages include:
1. Smaller footprint
2. Less expensive
3. Higher quality hardware
4. Better cloning capabilities, i.e. ability to clone the windows partition using the OS X operating system
5. Run Leopard and/or Windows 7
