Physician IT Engagement

I am a physician executive with a 20 year track record in health information technology (HIT). I provide consulting services to a variety of clients including hospitals, physicians, IT vendors, insurance companies. The name Bridge2Medical is meant to convey my ability to "bridge between disciplines". For example, my experience as a practicing physician and medical director allow me to engage with patient workflow issues -- at the same time, my experience as senior vice president and chief information officer help me balance the clinical work/needs with larger business and organizational realities. So in this example I am bridging business and technology 2 medical. I have worked with scenarios with all 22 unique medical specialities and as result understand the workflow challenges. My career in medical informatics started after formal training at Harvard/MIT which provided a deep understanding of decision-support and human computer interaction. My career in the past 20 years has provided an amazing set of opportunities to utilize that formal training applied world problems. https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddrowlandmd/
