ABILENE, Texas — Earlier this week, Hendrick Health appointed Dr. Josh Reed as its first assistant chief medical information officer (ACMIO).
Dr. Reed has been a member of the Hendrick Health medical staff since 2014 and has served as the physician advisor for case management since 2018.
In his new role, Dr. Reed will act as a liaison between the medical staff, administration, and IT departments.
His responsibilities will include promoting best practices and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Dr. Reed brings over 24 years of experience to his new role, including spending time in primary care.
Dr. Rob Wiley, chief medical officer of Hendrick Health, believes Dr. Reed’s experience strengthens Hendrick Health’s focus on patient-centric care emphasizing effective communication, empathy and evidence-based practices.
“(Dr. Reed) is an invaluable resource for our information technology team and has a natural talent as a collaborator,” said Wiley. “As our organization continues to develop its IT strategy, he will provide essential clinical leadership to prepare us for the next decade of connected care.”
Reed’s appointment follows clinical leadership appointments of Dr. Allen Schultz as assistant chief medical officer (ACMO) for Hendrick Clinic and Dr. Stephen Lowry as ACMO for Hendrick Health.
Doctors Lowry and Schultz were both appointed to their roles in 2024.
