In this honest and heartfelt episode of the Fire Chief Podcast, host Lee Scheinbart interviews the show’s first Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO), Dr. Rachel McEntee. They discuss Dr. McEntee's journey into informatics, the evolving role of CMIOs, the need to move from integration of technology in healthcare to the importance of leadership in informatics. This is particularly true as the conversation touches on the challenges of burnout, and the bravery that Dr. McEntee and her team exhibited when they examined their responsibility to the medical staff, et. al. After discovering a baseline from a remarkable survey, the Informatics team not only intervened but also received recognition from the AMA Joy in Medicine program regarding their work effort. As an emerging leader, Dr. McEntee emphasizes the need for a values-driven approach in the informatics space, along with the need to promote the right types of impact of digital healthcare technology.
