Mr. Chandra oversees digital and information technology strategy across clinical care, research and operations at one of the nation’s largest academic health systems, anchoring his leadership in financial rigor, operational simplification and next-generation digital innovation. A standout accomplishment under his leadership was securing $41 million in New York State funding to accelerate comprehensive enhancements to Montefiore’s cybersecurity program, strengthening identity protections, risk governance and enterprise resilience and elevating cybersecurity from a technical function to a clinical continuity strategy. Mr. Chandra established a formal enterprise AI governance framework through which ambient AI documentation technology was evaluated and deployed, reducing administrative burden and restoring meaningful clinical time to patient care, while an AI-based automated tagging process for active cancer patients improved care coordination accuracy to 95% and optimized the tagging process by 90%. His digital access initiatives drove a 25% increase in online primary care bookings, and he oversaw a major systemwide Epic upgrade supporting approximately 22,000 daily active users that reduced key system processing times from hours to minutes. Mr. Chandra has also advanced strategic partnerships with Dandelion, applying AI-driven analytics to accelerate drug development, and with Amazon One Medical to expand coordinated primary and specialty care access across New York.
