University of Mississippi Medical Center’s John Showalter, MD, has led some serious gains at the $1.6 billion health system – not least a four-fold ROI on its substantial investments in data analytics.
In building its Center for Informatics and Analytics and relentlessly reinventing itself as a knowledge-driven health system, UMMC has made some significant strides with regard to patient safety and cost savings. Part of that transformation included Showalter’s title change, from chief medical information officer to chief health information officer.
