Jonathan Bauer steps in to oversee information technology systems at
Most Wired-Advanced Hospital
Berlin, Md. – Atlantic General Hospital and Health System announced today that Jonathan
Bauer has joined the organization as the new vice president of information
systems, taking over for Andrew Fowler, who retired in June.
Bauer was born and raised in southwest Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh.
He spent four years at Slippery Rock University, in Slippery Rock, Penn.,
where he earned a bachelor of science in physics. His first position in
healthcare was with McKesson, working with pharmaceutical-distributing
robots. It was there his love for technology and healthcare grew, and
he went on to obtain his MBA from Waynesburg University, in Waynesburg, Penn.
After nine successful years with McKesson, Bauer accepted a position at
Somerset Hospital, in Somerset, Penn., as their director of information
services. Soon after joining Somerset Hospital, he was promoted to chief
information officer where he successfully led the hospital through all
stages of Meaningful Use and achieved Most Wired – the premier award
program for healthcare IT – three consecutive years. Bauer has continued
his passion for learning by earning his CHCIO and CPHIMS certification
from both the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives
(CHIME) and Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
“Atlantic General Hospital has a history of being ahead of the pack
when it comes to healthcare IT and technological innovation,” said
Bauer. “I’m thrilled to be here.”
