As CIO for North Country Healthcare, Mr. Bodnar oversees the integration and standardization of the organization’s Meditech Expanse EHR across its three critical access hospitals and the North Country Home Health and Hospice Agency. In conjunction with other hospital leaders, he is developing and executing the organization’s strategic plan to create a clinically-integrated and financially sustainable system to address population health and health indicators for the community. He is tasked with creating new community partnership opportunities, enabling high-quality local level care, and ensuring the care delivery model focuses on patient outcomes. Mr. Bodnar has held the CIO role at NCH since 2019 and served as the executive sponsor for Meditech implementation, resulting in five EHRs and patient portals condensing into one. Amongst many other IT initiatives, he also led an Office365 upgrade, helped develop the systemwide intranet, and helped create and streamline various IT policies. Recently, he was key in launching a Reducing Sleepless Nights campaign that reduces the amount of time between a patient having a mammogram and receiving results, cutting waiting time by nearly 50%.
