Maulik Purohit, MD, MPH, senior vice president and chief medical information officer at University Health System, San Antonio, recently sat down to discuss his predictions for health IT in the upcoming year, writes Becker’s Hospital Review.

As senior vice president and chief medical information officer at San Antonio-based University Health System, Maulik Purohit, MD, MPH, is constantly thinking of how new technologies can enable better care and meet government regulations.

But, Dr. Purohit doesn’t think of government regulations as burdens. Rather, he views them as an impetus for applying an out-of-the-box mindset to health IT. And, he wants to leverage his role as a CMIO to improve regulations and benefit the industry as a whole.
