The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine
Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO)
The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSCA) is seeking a dynamic leader to serve as its Chief Medical Information Officer, leading the strategic execution, oversight, continual development, advancement, and optimization of the UT Health Epic electronic health record (EHR).
In March 2021, UT Health San Antonio broke ground on the new $430 million UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital (https://uthealthsahospital.org/). This eight-story, 144-bed hospital will offer specialty care in cancer, orthopedics, urology, neurosurgery, vascular, and bariatric surgery. In support of the Multispecialty and Research Hospital (MSRH), UT Health San Antonio will be expanding and refueling its current ambulatory Epic environment to a state-of-the-art Enterprise Epic environment.
Reporting to the Chief Health Information and Value Officer, the CMIO is both a leadership and hands-on position and will assist the CHIO in ambulatory Epic, population health, quality, value-based care, clinical integration, analytics and reporting, telemedicine, mobile and web-based applications and be a liaison to UT Health research. The CMIO will play an integral part in the Epic EHR implementation for the new UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital. The CMIO will help lead Associate CMIOs and the development of a robust physician builder program. The CMIO will work collaboratively with the Deputy CIO, Assistant Vice President of Clinical Systems, Epic Directors as well as other informatics, research and clinical leaders at UT Health San Antonio.
Candidates must possess a comprehensive knowledge of Health Informatics through the combination of education and experience. The ideal candidate will also have 3 - 5 years experience with Epic, and clinical systems and process design/re-design. Experience as an Epic Physician Builder and advanced certifications are preferred. A Medical Degree with board certification in a clinical specialty is required with academic credentials that merit a faculty appointment. Faculty rank and tenure status will be determined on the experience and scholarly achievement of the finalist candidate.
San Antonio is a vibrant, multicultural city with year-round recreational activities, affordable housing, and an exceptionally high standard of living. UTHSCSA is a comprehensive academic health university and research center in South Texas.
