Centura names Co-CMIOs

Louise Schottstaedt, MD, MHA, and Jeff Sippel, MD, MPH, have been named co-chief medical information officers for Centura Health, Colorado’s largest healthcare network.

Schottstaedt and Sippel will champion efforts to identify innovative technologies that assist Centura physicians in advancing patient care, including computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and physician documentation.

Schottstaedt is the physician informatics director at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center in Pueblo, Colo., and the current physician champion for LSS, a data system that provides an integrated EHR for software for physician practices and clinics. Sippel is the physician informatics director for St. Anthony Central and Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, and Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, Colo.

Both physicians serve on the EHR Steering Committee and have been involved in many of the pilot projects in Centura Health’s EHR development.
