SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Becker's Health Review has named Sanford Health's Roxana Lupu, M.D. to its 2024 edition of "Health IT & revenue cycle up-and-comers" list. Dr. Lupu, chief medical information officer, is board certified in internal medicine and clinical informatics.

According to Becker's, the list honors trailblazers who are unafraid to think outside the box, and their innovative ideas are influencing hospitals, health systems and health care companies across the U.S. With a solid grasp on health care's current state, they are guiding their organizations' future growth.

"Dr. Lupu's work and leadership has played an integral role in how our clinicians and clinical staff are able to spend more of their time on the most important aspect of their job - making sure are patients receive the best care possible," said Jeremy Cauwels, M.D., chief medical officer at Sanford Health. "This is a well-deserved honor, and we are proud she is being recognized for her outstanding contributions to our health system and the impact she has on our employees and our patients."

Dr. Lupu leads a team of five physician informaticists from multiple different specialties, whose work enhances the clinician experience through decision support tools, team-based care, clinician education and the optimization of workflows. She has overseen the successful integration of several AI tools, which serve to improve efficiencies in Electronic Health Records and standardize procedures that reduce extraneous work for clinical staff.

Under her leadership, Sanford Health recently launched an AI pilot to categorize patient-initiated messages that may be related to prescription refills, scheduling or form completion. The new tool will help reduce inbox workload for clinicians and allow them to better focus on clinical and urgent messages that require their expertise and immediate attention.

Becker's Healthcare developed the 2024 list based on nominations and editorial research. The complete list can be found here.
