Modern Healthcare: CMS officials are looking for their first chief health informatics officer, someone who will work on health IT strategy and connect the CMS with private industry to try to lower healthcare costs and boost interoperability.
To do that, the chief health informatics officer will help advance the Medicare Blue Button 2.0 program and the electronic health record incentive programs, among other efforts.
"The truth is, as the largest healthcare payer in the country, CMS should have had a CHIO function long ago," said CMS Administrator Seema Verma in a blog post published the day before the job application period closes.
