For the 32nd episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Tom Selva, MD, CMIO at University of Missouri Health Care. In this discussion, we talk about Dr. Selva and his team winning the 2021 HIMSS Davies Award and what it meant to him and his organization. Plus, he shares the amazing three projects they submitted to win the award. Along with learning about these inspiring projects he also shares the importance of informatics and he discusses some of what it takes to bridge the gap between clinical and IT. Plus, he highlights why it’s been important for him to still be a practicing physician and CMIO.
Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:
- You won the 2021 HIMSS Davies Award, what does it mean to win an award like that for you and your organization?
- Tell us about what you did to win the award. What did the project include? What were the results?
- We’ve known about the problem of Sepsis for a long time. Why has it been such a challenging problem to solve?
- Talking more broadly, what’s the role of a clinical informaticist in transforming healthcare and saving lives? And how will that continue to evolve?
- What’s the most interesting piece of advice that you’ve learned and would share with other CMIOs or aspiring CMIOSs?
