Physician leadership is a critical success factor for health information technology initiatives, but best practices for structuring the role and skills required for such leadership remain undefined. The authors conducted structured interviews with five physician information technology leaders, or Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIOs), at health systems that broadly used health information technology. The study aimed to identify the individual skills and organizational structure necessary for a CMIO to be effective. The interviews found that the CMIOs had significant management experience prior to serving as a CMIO and were positioned and supported within each health system similar to other executive leaders; only one of the five CMIOs had formal informatics training. A review of the findings advocates for the CMIO to have a strong background and role as a physician executive supported by knowledge in informatics, as opposed to being a highly trained informaticist with secondary management expertise or support.
医师领导力是医疗卫生信息技术计划取得成功的关键因素，但构建此类领导力所需的角色和技能的最佳实践仍未明确。作者对广泛使用医疗卫生信息技术的医疗系统中的五位医师信息技术领导者，即首席医疗信息官（CMIO）进行了结构化访谈。该研究旨在确定CMIO有效发挥作用所需的个人技能和组织结构。访谈发现，CMIO在担任CMIO之前拥有丰富的管理经验，并且在每个医疗系统中的定位和支持与其他行政领导类似；五位CMIO中只有一位接受过正规的信息学培训。对研究结果的回顾主张，CMIO应具备强大的背景，并作为医师管理人员发挥作用，同时具备信息学知识的支持，而不是成为一名具有次要管理专业知识或支持的受过高度培训的信息学家。
