To Chief Infor­ma­tion Offi­cer James Schmitt the best part of his job is ​“con­nect­ing Res­i­dents with tech­nol­o­gy.” But that is only part of it. He is respon­si­ble for the imple­men­ta­tion and main­te­nance of all tech­nol­o­gy solu­tions through­out the Smith com­mu­ni­ties. His depart­ment also pro­vides sup­port and train­ing of emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies for admin­is­tra­tive staff and res­i­dents alike. Cur­rent­ly, he is lead­ing the inte­gra­tion of Smith’s elec­tron­ic med­ical record solu­tion that will be shared with oth­er health­care providers to stream­line the trans­fer of Res­i­dents’ patient health infor­ma­tion to keep Smith com­mu­ni­ties at the van­guard of ser­vice to Residents.

James heads a team of IT pros, and co-found­ed and over­sees the miSmith pro­gram, a tech­nol­o­gy sup­port pro­gram for Res­i­dents staffed by Saint Xavier Uni­ver­si­ty com­put­er sci­ence interns.
