CEO was the most common title at 23%, followed by CMIO at 12%, CMO at 8%, and CIO, CFO and COO, each at 5%. The remaining 42% of respondents held titles as board officers and members, practice administrators and managers. Of the 252 respondents, 219 were deemed to be from eligible provider organizations.
By organization type, 27% were physician practice/medical group leaders, 27% were leaders of general acute-care hospitals, 22% were from multihospital or integrated-delivery systems and 12% were from academic medical centers, with the rest coming from other types of provider organizations. The median size of physician group practices whose leaders participated was 14 doctors; the median size of general, acute-care hospitals was 125 staffed beds; and the median size of multihospital systems was 900 beds and five hospitals.
