Chief Information Officer
Drive IT transformation from all
of your hospital's operational data
CIOs use Apella's ground-truth data to derive
new value from their existing EHR investments.
Is data innacuracy
blocking your CIO goals?
EHR data issues are disrupting your clinical stakeholders' day, every day. And emphasizing the manual nature of EHR documentation just makes things worse, not better.
Precision benchmarking beyond the EHR

- Event timestamps automatically generated
- All data completely HIPAA compliant
- Available write-back to Epic and other EHRs
Analytics meant for
every user and team
Reveal workflow trends and phase-level variation across cases, turnovers, and physicians. See what drove delays and how to improve, all backed by ground-truth data.
- Impactful reporting to set real priorities
- Adoption of best practices to improve efficiency
- Changes implemented months faster and millions of dollars cheaper
Maximize the human impact of data and tech
Using computer vision and machine learning to automate certain perioperative workflows in the OR, Apella lowers manual IT dependencies and helps teams focus.
- Latent records cut from an hour delay to a minute
- Average 5% increase in surgical case volume
- Late OR days reduced by 46 percentage points
Take your AI program
to scale

Frequently asked questions
What does a chief information officer do in a hospital?
A hospital CIO leads IT strategy, infrastructure, and information systems for a health system — overseeing EHR platforms, interoperability, compliance with regulations related to data and privacy, and cybersecurity. Once focused mainly on IT operations, healthcare CIOs are now C-suite strategic leaders, responsible for turning existing technology investments, especially the EHR, into measurable gains in care quality, cost, and provider experience.
What are some ambient AI use cases for a healthcare chief information officer?
Hospital CIOs oversee two major ambient AI categories: ambient clinical documentation and ambient computer vision, where sensors detect real-world events like OR case status or turnover phases. Other use cases include predictive analytics for capacity planning and automated write-back of event data to the EHR.
What should a hospital CIO look for when evaluating an ambient AI vendor?
Beyond a polished demo, CIOs should ask for model accuracy at enterprise scale — precision and recall metrics like F1 scores, not just pilot anecdotes. Other priorities include EHR interoperability (Epic and beyond), HIPAA-compliant data handling, and evidence that performance holds up across hundreds of thousands of real cases, not just a handful of rooms.
How does a healthcare chief information officer use Apella?
CIOs use Apella to reduce reliance on manual EHR documentation: computer vision and machine learning automatically generate event timestamps and write them back to Epic, fully HIPAA compliant. CIOs also rely on Apella's analytics to spot variation across cases, turnovers, and physician patterns — all without adding IT overhead.
