This technology roadmap allows our clinical teams to dedicate more of their time to patient facing care, provides our members with a more modern interface for care and communications, and enables Private Medical to scale more rapidly Identify and evaluate technologies, both emerging (including AI) and well established, and translate them into concrete, prioritized opportunities for the business.

AI & Clinical Innovation Lead the design and implementation of AI-powered tools that enhance the productivity and effectiveness of our clinical teams — from intelligent documentation and ambient scribing to proactive care gap identification and predictive analytics. Develop next-generation member-facing technology, including mobile and digital communication tools that reflect the premium, personalized nature of our brand. Evaluate and implement purpose-built AI solutions for healthcare, as well as general-purpose LLM and automation tools adapted for clinical workflows. Ensure all AI initiatives comply with HIPAA and other applicable healthcare regulations, and establish governance frameworks for responsible AI use. Core Systems & Integrations Drive the continued evolution of our Salesforce CRM platform and its deep integration with Elation, our Electronic Health Records (EHR) system. Lead the design of internal processes and data flows that enable our clinical teams to provide proactive, data-driven, best-in-class care and enable appropriate performance management. Optimize usage of our existing software stack including Salesforce, Elation EHR, Slack, Box, Confluence, NetSuite and Google Workspace and evaluate and select any additional or different products as needed. Team Leadership & Execution Manage and develop our internal IT teams, including hiring, performance management, and day-to-day leadership. Lead quarterly and annual planning cycles for the technology function, building and maintaining a clear project roadmap. Coordinate and manage third-party vendors and implementation consultants to deliver projects on time and within budget.
