The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives recently recognized George McCulloch, deputy chief information officer at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as a Certified Healthcare CIO (CHCIO).
CHCIO status represents achievement of the highest standard of professional development and is the only credentialing program that distinguishes health care IT executives from others in the industry.
McCulloch was among the program's founding fathers, dedicating more than 1,000 volunteer hours to help develop and create the CHCIO Program.
He also played a vital role in the creation of the program's comprehensive examination.
