As CMIO at Phoebe Putney Health System, Dr. Sewell leads health IT initiatives that enhance care quality, clinician efficiency and patient safety across a 41-county region. A practicing OB/GYN for over 20 years, he brings firsthand clinical expertise to technology-driven healthcare transformation. One of his most impactful projects was Phoebe Putney’s collaboration with Meditech to develop an obstetric hemorrhage management toolkit, designed to reduce maternal mortality by standardizing care pathways and improving risk screening. The toolkit integrates patient registries, surveillance and advanced clinical logic to help providers identify and manage at-risk patients throughout the continuum of care.
