Dept of Surgery has theirs -- Do You Have Yours?

At the July Mather Medical Board Meeting (and in subsequent meetings), Mather Medical Staff President, Lloyd Lense, admonished all departmental directors to appoint an "IT Liason," to serve as each department's resource as Mather's clinical information system (Allscripts/Eclipsys Sunrise) is implemented.  This IT Liason will remain updated and participate with the Physician Advisory Council and Chief Medical Information Officer, Joe Ng, as the implementation progresses, reporting periodically to the department and communicating needs and concerns from the department to the physician council and the CMIO.

Mike Arato, Director of Gyn/Ob, has appointed Gus San Roman,who has already participated by commenting on Maria's List.  Director of Dept of Surgery, Randy Schrager, has appointed me, and Ed Borden, in his usual generous manner, has offered his assistance and plans to attend meetings and stay involved with the Physician Advisory Council.

If you would like to be involved, please contact your departmental director, Joe Ng at JNg@matherhospital.org , Joan Faro at JFaro@matherhospital.org, or me, Maria Basile at MBasile@matherhospital.org .

The next meeting of the Physician Advisory Council is Thursday, September 30th at 7am in the Sunrise Room.
