Fractional CIO

Embedded executive IT leadership that aligns technology investments with clinical and financial outcomes — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Strategic IT Leadership for Healthcare

Your organization faces mounting pressure around interoperability mandates, cybersecurity threats, and digital transformation — but a full-time CIO runs $250K+ and takes months to hire. We embed into your leadership team, providing the same strategic oversight from someone who understands healthcare operations, not just technology.

What a Fractional CIO Delivers

This isn't advisory from the sidelines. We sit in your leadership meetings, own your technology roadmap, and make the decisions that a full-time CIO would make — IT budgeting and capital planning, vendor evaluation and contract negotiation, compliance and risk oversight, and board-level reporting that translates technical reality into business language.

Built for Healthcare Organizations That Are Growing

Practices that have scaled through acquisition often inherit fragmented IT environments with no strategic oversight. Multi-site operations need someone ensuring the technology stack scales with the organization, not against it. We've guided healthcare organizations through EHR migrations, infrastructure consolidation, and the kind of technology decisions that shape the next five years of operations.

Strategic Direction, Not Just Tactical Advice

  • IT Strategy & Roadmap Development — Technology plans aligned to clinical and financial goals, not vendor wishlists
  • Budget Planning & Optimization — Capital and operational IT spending that delivers measurable ROI
  • Vendor Management — Evaluation, negotiation, and accountability for every technology partner
  • Risk & Compliance Oversight — HIPAA, HITECH, and emerging regulatory requirements built into strategy
  • Digital Transformation — Practical modernization that improves operations without disrupting patient care
  • Board & Executive Reporting — Clear communication of IT posture, investments, and outcomes
