We All Seem to Do the Same Work, but Differently
Guest: Dr. K. Nadeem Ahmed, Chief Medical Information Officer, Valley Health System, Ridgewood, New Jersey
With over 20 years of healthcare experience, Dr. Ahmed most recently served a Global CMIO for The Aga Khan University (AKU) in Pakistan and its global network of hospitals. Additionally, he has served over two dozen healthcare systems as a Physician Executive Consultant to develop effective multidisciplinary governance strategies for successful deployment of electronic health record systems.
We learn about Dr. Ahmed’s journey to IT and transition to the study of medicine. He explains how he came to work at the Valley Health system as their CMIO. We discuss Valley Health’s EHR selection project and how they are working on the governance of proper usage of AI. We learn about his “same, but different” philosophy: How training, navigation, governance, etc. can be challenging and burdensome to standardize. Is technology solving or contributing to burnout?
