No clinician went to school to spend their “pajama time” on basic administrative tasks—but that’s all too often the case. Dr. Nele Jessel is working to change that by embracing technology that allows clinicians to work smarter, not harder.
Dr. Nele Jessel, Chief Medical Officer at athenahealth, is passionate about improving healthcare delivery as well as patient and population health outcomes through technology.
