(PRUnderground) May 9th, 2025
Intermountain Health has named two new Digital Technology Services (DTS) leaders.
Tamara Moores Todd, MD, will serve as chief health informatics officer (CHIO) for the system, while Jason McClellan will serve as chief clinical informatics officer (CCIO).
Dr. Moores Todd will draw on over a decade of progressive clinical and administrative experience as Intermountain’s new CHIO.
As the Intermountain interim chief health informatics officer and associate chief health informatics officer, Dr. Moores Todd has led significant initiatives, including the deployment of advanced decision support systems and the creation of unified clinical communication ecosystems.
“Dr. Moores Todd’s innovative approach and relentless pursuit of excellence have been instrumental in our success. Her leadership will continue to drive our efforts in health informatics to new heights,” said Ryan Smith, chief digital and information officer for Intermountain Health.
In her new role, Dr. Moores Todd will lead the strategic vision and development of health informatics initiatives.
She will work closely with clinical leaders to optimize electronic health record (EHR) use and other clinical systems. She’ll also drive innovation and continuous improvement efforts across the system.
Additionally, her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in pioneering technical workflows and substantial operational cost savings.
Dr. Moores Todd holds a Doctor of Medicine degree from Loma Linda University and is board certified in emergency medicine and clinical informatics.
“I’m honored to be named in this role and excited to unite our Intermountain teams to care for each patient as if they were family. Leading our Informatics Teams brings me unabating joy — working with wildly talented, mission-driven people to create reliable systems that enhance both caregiver and patient experiences,” said Dr. Moores Todd.
“In this next chapter, I seek to shape our systems to work better for us, helping clinicians reclaim time, reduce friction, and support care with data and technology. Informatics serves as a bridge, and I’m humbled to be part of the team building that bridge better together.”
As Intermountain’s CCIO, McClellan will partner with clinical, operational, and technology leaders to foster data-driven decision-making within our enterprise.
He has served at Intermountain Health in several roles for nearly a decade, including associate chief clinical informatics officer, informatics director of learning and communication, and nurse clinical informatics analyst.
His career highlights include playing a pivotal role in the system’s EHR implementation, improving the caregiver EHR experience, and championing innovative documentation strategies that have saved our nursing caregivers thousands of hours of time.
“Jason has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and innovation in his field,” said Smith. “His expertise and dedication will be invaluable as we continue to advance our clinical informatics initiatives.”
McClellan’s background also includes service in the U.S. Army, specializing in finance, accounting, and information systems security. He holds an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Western Governors University.
“While Intermountain was searching for a new chief digital and information officer last summer, I had the chance to work closely with both leaders. They are exceptional professionals and even better people,” said Dan Liljenquist, chief strategy officer for Intermountain Health. “In these new roles, Jason and Dr. Moores Todd will continue to drive significant, positive impact at Intermountain Health. We are confident that their leadership will help drive our strategic goals forward and enhance our ability to deliver high-quality care.”
Both leaders will continue to serve on the Digital Technology Services Executive Leadership Team and report directly to Intermountain’s chief digital and information officer.
