Orange, Calif. — Dr. Deepti Pandita has been recognized as a chief medical information officer to know by Becker’s Hospital Review.
Pandita, who is also the vice president of clinical informatics at UCI Health, is a national leader in the field of clinical and medical informatics. At Orange County’s only academic health system, she drives artificial intelligence (AI) governance, digital transformation and clinician efficiency initiatives.
Her writeup reads in part:
“At UCI Health, she has implemented AI-driven tools to streamline patient messaging, ambient documentation and administrative workflows. A strong advocate for health equity, she focuses on bridging digital disparities to improve access for underserved populations. Over the next five years, her vision is to create a seamless, patient-centered digital experience to integrate scheduling, at-home care and interoperability solutions. She recently co-authored an American College of Physicians position paper on AI in healthcare, influencing policy and innovation at a national level.”

Her digital solutions have improved the health of communities, eased the cognitive burden of clinicians and promoted the wellness of the clinical workforce. Pandita’s work has also reduced the average patient stay in the hospital, saved costs and improved operational efficiencies.
