INFORMATION SCIENCES LEADERSHIP

Michael Craige, highly motivated, execution-driven, and technically sophisticated information sciences professional committed to pursuing a life-long career in technology and informatics research. A leader in the technology industry pertaining to the development and deployment of cutting-edge work in technologically-intensive and clinical informatics environments, application development, systems biology, hospital information systems, data integration and healthcare IT standards.


My professional interest is focused on the use of information sciences (including administration, architecture, interoperability, security, privacy, and storage solutions) to help physician practices, community hospitals, and research facilities enhance their existing information technology infrastructure; oversee informatics projects, interface with patient care systems, healthcare administration, IT/informatics operations and research or to launch one de novo.
