Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to yours, since running informatics for a single hospital differs from leading it across a region or a multi-state system. Also decide whether your question is mainly about EHR optimization and governance, clinical decision support or team structure and staffing, and pick someone whose roles centered on that.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which EHR optimization requests to take on when clinicians ask for far more than the team can build?
- 02How do you govern order sets and clinical decision support so that alerts stay useful and do not cause fatigue?
- 03How do you structure a clinical informatics team between nursing, physician and IT staff?
