C ommunity Health Network , headquartered in Indianapolis , can truly call itself a leader in healthcare services . Their Chief Analytics Officer , Patrick McGill , MD tells us they have one of the highest physician engagement scores in the region , and their patient satisfaction scores also rank amongst the top .

Another key aspect that sets them apart from other healthcare providers is their strategic focus on data analytics . Whereas many healthcare organisations are lagging in this area , McGill says they believe this is the pathway to future success .
McGill first came to work here as a family doctor around 10 years ago . When the organisation installed Epic as their electronic medical record ( EMR ), he was asked to work on some of its optimization . This led to a series of roles including Medical Director of Physician Informatics , leading training and strategic initiatives around Epic ; Senior VP for Clinical Strategy , and two years ago he stepped into the position of Chief Analytics Officer .
