Chief of Digital Health

I co-lead digital transformation at Sutter Health, balancing implementation of digital health initiatives with life as a husband, father, family physician and researcher, both as an adjunct professor at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research and an investigator at the Sutter Center for Health Systems Research.  Together, we are a team of servant leaders dedicated to empowering patients and clinicians with solutions to improve the health of the communities we serve.

I research, plan, develop and deliver digital solutions to help our patients manage their healthcare wherever they are. It’s rewarding when I hear how people use our technology to manage their and their families’ healthcare needs. I’m proud of Sutter’s commitment to supporting digital initiatives and the work we do on behalf of our patients. I’m an avid bowler who likes to “knock them down, one pin at a time.”

Implementation Manager

I manage the analytics function, communication, training and outreach of My Health Online features and enhancements. My role is to connect the dots between an implementation of a feature by training staff, working with marketing and providing analytics to measure our success. It is satisfying when I know a successful implementation has made our staff and patients’ lives better. My off work activities include traveling, attending live events, movies, and finding new restaurants.

I provide project intake support for enhancements to My Health Online (MHO). I also maintain our internal wiki pages and develop instructions on new MHO features. I’m delighted to know that I’m assisting patients with the features I love as a patient myself: messaging my care team, scheduling appointments and accessing test results. In my free time, I love playing with our three dogs, reading science fiction or playing Forge of Empires.
