The campus has really embraced informatics and enterprise analytics capabilities and we’ve developed a strong team and partnership with the hospital and clinics. We’re now really poised to have someone come in and lead our team (adding three more positions) so we can develop and deploy interventional informatics in the clinical and financial workflows to realize our full potential. I would just add in addition to the professional reasons to come to Kansas City… - It’s a really nice size city with good dining/entertainment/cultural options. There’s more than BBQ though that in and of itself is pretty amazing.
