Dr. Tannenbaum serves as vice president and holds the dual roles of CIO and CMIO at Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, overseeing infrastructure, cybersecurity and enterprise applications while driving EHR optimization, upgrades and regulatory compliance. A former private-practice pediatrician, he brings a clinician’s empathy to technology leadership, focusing on tools that increase time at the bedside, strengthen safety and support the organization’s Catholic mission. His portfolio emphasizes patient engagement, telemedicine, analytics, AI and advanced communications, translating technical complexity into practical clinical and business value. Throughout, he considers usability, maintenance and cost. Under his leadership, Saint Peter’s deployed AI to identify high-risk social determinants of health needs and connect patients to community resources, contributing to more than a 7% decrease in emergency department visits among high-risk patients. He has also advanced inpatient safety and communication through AI-enabled remote monitoring integrated with a virtual nursing and TV-based platform that supports fall-risk alerts and family-provider video communication. In maternal health, he led the implementation of the state’s first robotic process automation to automatically transfer EHR data into New Jersey’s required perinatal risk assessment system, supporting early identification of prenatal risk factors. Looking ahead, Dr. Tannenbaum is spearheading Saint Peter’s Epic integration targeted for 2027.
