title: Ramping up to leadership CMIOs' profile keeps growing. CMIOs take on new responsibilities as patient care organizations move through the quality journey.
abstract: As physician informaticists rise into CMIO titles, the CMIO role itself is gradually being transformed, particularly in more advanced patient care organizations, from its early "tech-head doc" function to a management role focused on implementation, to increasingly, a transformational leadership role. CMIOs and industry experts agree that the skills needed to help lead change on a broad scale are pushing medical informaticists to new levels of professional development.
