[Hiring] VP, Applications and Digital Health @Prism Vision Group

Role Description

PRISM is scaling faster than at any point in its history — new practices joining through M&A, a deepening integration with McKesson, and rising expectations from operations and physician leadership are all landing on an applications and digital health function that hasn't historically had a senior, dedicated leader. You'll take ownership of PRISM's clinical and business application portfolio, Athena, Nextech, and SIS today, and own the strategy behind it: what the platform mix and integration architecture should look like as PRISM continues to grow, and how to get there. You'll report directly to the CIO, sit at the center of nearly every cross-functional conversation IT has with operations, physician leadership, and finance, and build the team and roadmap to make it happen. This is one of the most senior and most visible technology seats in the company.

Responsibilities

• Own the Applications Portfolio — and Get More Value From It
  • Take full ownership of PRISM's EMR and practice-management ecosystem — Athena, Nextech, and SIS.
  • Own the vendor relationships that matter most, driving the enhancement roadmap and holding vendors accountable.
  • Partner directly with clinical and operations leaders to maximize platform usage.
  • Lead or participate in evaluating new solutions where the existing platform doesn't deliver.
• Lead Digital Health & Patient Access
  • Partner with marketing to define and deliver PRISM's digital front door.
  • Act as a lead collaborator on patient-access initiatives.
  • Own strategy and vendor relationships for ancillary clinical technology.
• Build the Team You Need
  • Take ownership of an in-flight culture shift.
  • Honestly assess the current applications team and build a team structured for future needs.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain talent across EMR analysis, business systems analysis, and integration engineering.
  • Set the operating rhythm for the team.
• Own the Budget
  • Own the opex and capex budget for applications and digital health.
  • Build and defend the business cases behind platform, staffing, and vendor decisions.
  • Manage vendor relationships and contracts across the portfolio.
• Bring AI Into the Work
  • Identify where AI and automation can improve provider productivity and patient access.
  • Find where AI and automation can enhance your own applications and analyst team.
  • Ensure every AI use case meets governance, security, and compliance standards.
• Partner Across the Business
  • Build direct, trusted relationships with physician leadership and practice operations.
  • Participate in PRISM's physician leadership technology committee.
  • Partner with McKesson's growth and integration teams on application and EMR approach for M&A integrations.
  • Act as a thought partner to the CIO on future applications and digital health strategies.

Qualifications

• Proven senior leadership experience (VP/Director-level or equivalent scope) owning an EMR or clinical application portfolio in a healthcare or ambulatory care organization.
• Deep, hands-on fluency with EMR and practice-management platforms (Athena, Nextech, SIS, or comparable systems).
• A track record of shaping application and platform strategy.
• Experience leading digital health or patient-access initiatives.
• Experience assessing and rebuilding a technical team.

Requirements

• Experience in ophthalmology, retina, or another single- or multi-specialty ambulatory care environment.
• Experience operating inside a matrixed parent organization.
• Direct experience piloting or scaling AI-enabled clinical or operational workflows.
• Familiarity with clinical trials technology and patient financial engagement or revenue-cycle platforms.
• Has personally built an application-strategy or platform-rationalization business case.

What Success Looks Like

In the first year, success looks like: a team that's been honestly assessed, restructured, and reset from reactive to proactive; real partnership with operations and physician leadership; measurable improvement delivered through AI or automation initiatives; a budget and vendor management approach finance trusts; and a clear, data-backed point of view on PRISM's application and integration strategy.
