"At the beginning of my time as a CMIO, I needed to remain clinical to build camaraderie with my colleagues. This proved essential as the health system was going through a transition to a new EMR. The medical staff needed to know that every decision I made affected me as much as it affected them.
As time went on and the EMR matured, it became less relevant if I practiced and more critical to perform as a change agent. However, I elected to still practice in a part-time fashion because of my love for orthopedics. I also recognized the importance of a minority surgeon for the community."
Nathan Gause is an orthopedic surgeon and former CMIO. Afua Aning is a physician informaticist.
They share their stories and discuss the KevinMD article, "Innovation and the ever-changing role of the CMIO."
