For nearly 30 years, Dr. Josey has served as a primary care physician at Grand Lake Health System. He has also simultaneously led health IT advancements as CMIO for the past decade. Dr. Josey’s primary aim is to optimize IT workflows, reduce provider burden and improve patient care outcomes. Under his leadership, the system replaced three disparate EHR systems with a single, streamlined Sunrise EHR, eliminating duplicate entries, improving communication and enhancing provider efficiency. He spearheaded Compass integration, centralizing task management, patient-provider messaging and high-priority notifications to enable uninterrupted workflows. A champion of clinical decision support, he and his team developed over 150 medical logic modules, created sepsis alerts and introduced population health tools for risk stratification and social determinants of health documentation. His EHR-driven quality initiatives earned overwhelmingly positive feedback from the National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations hospital accreditation survey, with surveyors calling the system “impeccably built.”
