Marisa Barbieri, Managing Partner and Lead Health Care IT Advisor, has been a pioneer in the healthcare industry. A software engineer her entire life, Marisa is helping health care executives plan, select, integrate and implement large enterprise-wide IT solutions. Marisa's wide range of experience in various health care settings and technical roles has led her to become one of the country's most sought after health care IT consultants. As Lead Hospital IT Strategist for Competitive Solutions, Inc, Marisa is called upon to help obtain grant funding, select, implement and integrate EMRs and install advanced technologies such as CPOE, bar coding for bloods & meds, document imaging, integrated speech recognition tools, and executive dashboards.  Most recently at the New York Department of Health (NYDOH), Marisa was a key member of the EMR team, a nationally recognized project and model today for EMR implementations.  Her clients rely on her for advice on how to organize and plan large IT projects and EMR rollouts. 

Marisa will tell you that technology alone doesn't solve problems.  "You need a clinical team of professionals and process reengineering - a skill I learned at IBM - to improve work flows and operating efficiencies. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a cross-enterprise process team to improve workflow.  Technology is simply an enabler for that improvement", notes Marisa. 

Marisa's passion is focused on care coordination and the creation of an integrated care delivery system; linking physicians to hospitals and patients using EMR/EHRs to improve care outcomes.  "When the day comes that  we can travel  - even if it's just down the street - and our medical record follows us, my job will be done."

 

Specialties:  EMR integration, EMR selection, and large-scale implementation of health care IT solutions (EMR/CPOE/EDIS/HIS)
