Mr. Bentley serves as chief information and digital transformation officer at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where he directs healthcare IT strategy and delivery across hospitals and outpatient sites. He partners closely with clinical and hospital leaders to plan, implement and support clinical applications for new ambulatory and inpatient openings while leading IT governance and long-range strategic planning. Since being named to the role in 2023, he has accelerated a portfolio of initiatives that improve clinician efficiency and strengthen operations, including expansion of AI capabilities such as ambient listening for ambulatory and emergency department providers. He guided the implementation of Epic Hyperdrive Phase II to modernize web-based workflows and improve capabilities like device integration, location awareness and privacy. Under his leadership, the medical center deployed Tecsys inventory management to strengthen supply chain performance and issued “All-in-One” iPhones to nurses and patient care assistants to consolidate point-of-care workflows on a single device. He also advanced enterprise enablement through upgrades to the scheduling and timekeeping systems, as well as the rollout of smartcard badges that unify physical access and technology authentication. An Ohio State leader since 1994, Mr. Bentley previously led health system informatics, overseeing patient care and administrative applications.
