ACMIO – Cook Children’s

Cook Children’s Health Care System seeks a strategic and influential physician executive to serve as its Associate Chief Medical Information Officer (ACMIO). The ACMIO, alongside other senior leaders at Cook Children’s, will profoundly influence the health system and the broader community. This position offers an informatics leader a unique and compelling opportunity to assume a pivotal leadership role within one of the nation’s leading and rapidly expanding children’s hospitals.

The ACMIO will be a crucial contributor to strengthening the connection between IT and the clinical community, advancing informatics and technology to better meet the needs of clinicians and the pediatric patients they serve. A key part of their role will be managing physician engagement across the organization, playing a vital role in growing the IT Medical Director Program and enhancing the informatics knowledge base within this group.

The ACMIO will collaborate with clinical application peers to develop education and provide at-the-elbow support for physicians throughout the organization. They must be a strong leader capable of integrating themselves into the clinical setting, fostering strong partnerships, and establishing credibility to advance new initiatives. This person should be a skilled change agent, adept at building consensus while maintaining momentum amidst competing priorities.

This is a key aspect of the role, and the ACMIO will collaborate directly with senior leadership, physicians, nurses, technology leaders, and others on initiatives aimed at improving patient outcomes. Situated in one of the country’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas, the ACMIO will have the chance to establish partnerships with regional and national informatics collaborators. The incoming ACMIO must have an M.D. or D.O. with a strong background in clinical practice. Current clinical practice is required.
