Sammie Mosier, DHA, MA, BSN, NE-BC
Senior vice president and chief nurse executive
In March, we welcomed our new Vice President and Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, Sherri Hess, MS-IS, BSN, RN-BC, FHIMSS.
Sherri is a seasoned leader in nursing informatics, having built and led multiple informatics programs for several large organizations, most recently as Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Banner Health. Her career spans 38 years in healthcare, and she has a proven track record of ensuring technology increases efficiency for clinicians and improves patient outcomes.
Sherri began her bedside career as a registered nurse in the NICU, and she worked at HCA Healthcare Denver where she completed her Masters in Information Systems. Her journey in Healthcare Information Technology began in 2000, and she spent seven years at McKesson in software development—allowing her to marry her nursing background with IT knowledge to help develop electronic health records. Sherri is a HIMSS Fellow, and served on the Colorado HIMSS Board in multiple positions. She serves on the boards of the American Nurses Informatics Association, the Zebra Technologies Customer Advisory Board and the Nuance Nursing Advisory Board.
Frequently sought out to speak on nursing informatics topics, she has spent time at the United States Capital sharing policy advice with Congressional leaders. In 2017, she received one of the greatest honors a nurse can receive—the Nightingale Luminary Award. Sherri holds a Masters in Information Systems from the University of Colorado-Denver and a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing, and is a certified Informatics Nurse through the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Her strategic perspective, operational mindset and collaborative approach make her an ideal leader for this role. Welcome, Sherri!
