Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC) is seeking a strategic, operationally grounded, and highly collaborative information technology executive to serve as its next Chief Information Officer (CIO). The CIO will join a financially strong, independent health system that is deeply connected to the community and committed to delivering high-quality, accessible care to Cape Cod residents and visitors. As a member of the senior leadership team, the CIO will provide the technology vision, actionable insights, reliable infrastructure, and thoughtful leadership needed to advance CCHC’s mission and support its clinical, operational, and financial priorities.
Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC) is the leading provider of healthcare services for residents and visitors of Cape Cod and the largest employer in Barnstable County. The health system includes more than 600 providers, over 5,000 employees, and more than 250 volunteers. Its comprehensive continuum of care encompasses Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital, which have a combined 372 beds, as well as a Level III trauma center, six urgent care centers, a network of primary and specialty care practices, skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, assisted living, and the Cape’s leading provider of home care and hospice services through its Visiting Nurse Association.
The CIO will be charged with developing and executing a technology strategy that advances CCHC’s clinical, operational, and financial priorities. Key objectives include maximizing Epic to achieve top-tier performance, strengthening data and analytics, improving revenue cycle processes through automation and AI, and partnering with clinical leaders to improve workflows and clinician well-being. Serving as a strategic leader and player-coach, the CIO will also strengthen cybersecurity and infrastructure, develop the IT team, and ensure technology investments deliver measurable value.
The CIO will inherit a capable and well-regarded information technology team with a strong, collaborative culture. A central priority will be ensuring that CCHC’s technology investments remain closely aligned with healthcare operations and the needs of clinicians, patients, and staff. The organization is looking for a leader who will preserve and strengthen that foundation while helping the team continue to evolve. This individual will be an accessible and engaged leader who takes the time to understand the organization, earns the trust of colleagues, communicates clearly, and invests in the development of team members.
The ideal leader will be confident yet humble, and comfortable operating in an environment with limited bureaucracy, where leaders are expected to be responsive, accountable, and focused on the work of the organization. The CIO must demonstrate sound judgment, strong communication skills, and the ability to translate complex technology issues into clear business and clinical implications.
This is an attractive opportunity for a healthcare technology executive who wants to make a visible and lasting difference within a strong, community-oriented health system. The next CIO will have the opportunity to shape the organization’s technology direction, mentor and develop a talented team, and establish deep roots within Cape Cod Healthcare and the community it serves.
