Scottsdale Institute CNIO and CMIO Summits Explore Care Standardization

CHICAGO, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chief Nursing Information Officers (CNIOs) and Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIOs) from 26 leading healthcare organizations gathered Sept. 18-20 in Chicago for the Scottsdale Institute 2019 CNIO and CMIO Summits to discuss care standardization, how to reduce the cognitive burden of the EMR, data quality, documentation, managing CDS content and improving clinician satisfaction.

The CNIO and CMIO Summits were hosted by Scottsdale Institute, a not-for-profit membership organization of health systems advanced in IT, and sponsored by Impact Advisors, a healthcare IT consultancy, and LogicStream Health, a leading provider of clinical process improvement and control software. As Scottsdale Institute's first combined CNIO/CMIO agenda, the Summits placed special emphasis on developing strong partnerships between CNIOs and CMIOs and resulted in a single, combined white paper.

The CNIO/CMIO Summit Report, "Care Standardization: Why and How to Make this Work," highlights the conversations and lessons learned from the event. A copy of the report is available for download through the Scottsdale Institute, Impact Advisors and LogicStream Health websites.

"Scottsdale Institute's mission is to convene the right executives to discuss the right issues facing healthcare leaders in today's fast-paced, tech-enabled world," says Janet Guptill, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Institute. "Bringing together our member CNIOs and CMIOs released remarkable energy and excitement about harmonizing the CDS-supported care process ? a collaboration so vital to standardizing care across the nation."

"We were excited to be a part of this Summit, as many takeaways and next steps emerged from the discussions and collaboration around the topic of care standardization," said Angela R. Tiberio, MD, Physician Executive at Impact Advisors. "Attendees agreed that serving as a CMIO or CNIO places them in a unique position to very positively impact some of healthcare's biggest challenges, including optimizing processes for maximal quality, safety, value and access, as well as provider and patient satisfaction. Attendees identified several key focus areas for the future, including continued venues for CMIO/CNIO collaboration; benchmarking and analytics to demonstrate "success"; addressing clinician/physician burnout; and advancing the overall profession. We look forward to seeing where these conversations lead us over the next year and beyond."

"The burden of variation in clinical documentation and the lack of standardization is clearly a problem for healthcare providers today," said Luis Saldaña, MD, CMIO LogicStream Health. "The Summit was a highly productive forum for numerous leading CNIOs and CMIOs to connect and share excellent insights about ways to address this problem in their respective organizations. As a group, we committed to continuing the conversation and advancing our collective efforts to set the standard for driving improvement across all of healthcare."
