A former chief information officer (CIO) and recognized expert on healthcare data analytics, Dr. Gensinger will take a leadership role in Tegria’s work to help provider and payer clients optimize and advance care through clinical transformation initiatives.
“Ray’s deep experience and perspective as a physician leader and CIO are vital to Tegria’s efforts to improve healthcare,” said Brian Cahill, chief executive officer, Tegria.“We’re helping clients use technology that will enable clinicians to focus on patient care, avoid burnout and keep their communities healthy.”
Gensinger most recently served as CIO for Hospital Sisters Health System, an integrated delivery network across Illinois and Wisconsin, where he oversaw an operating budget of $130 million and a team of 450 colleagues.
