[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.

  • Lead or participate in evaluating new solutions where the existing platform falls short.
• Lead Digital Health & Patient Access

  • Build and defend business cases for platform, staffing, and vendor decisions.
  • Manage vendor relationships and contracts across the portfolio.
• Bring AI Into the Work
  • Identify opportunities for AI and automation to improve productivity and access.
  • Find internal applications for AI and automation to enhance team effectiveness.
  • Ensure AI use cases meet governance, security, and compliance standards.

  • Build trusted relationships with physician leadership and practice operations.
  • Participate in governance forums and bring input from physicians into the applications roadmap.
  • Collaborate with McKesson's teams on application and EMR strategies for M&A integrations.

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 that has surfaced opportunities to get more value from the platforms; measurable improvement delivered through AI or automation initiatives; a budget and vendor management approach grounded in real numbers; and a clear, data-backed point of view on PRISM's application and integration strategy.
