Nearly 8 in 10 chief medical information officers say they have taken on more responsibilities over the past two years, a new survey found.
CMIOs have gone from the purveyors of EHRs to digital transformation and patient experience leaders, according to the October report from the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems and leadership search firm WittKieffer.
