Chip McIntosh is Chief Innovation Officer (CINO) at AMD Global Telemedicine. A champion for people-centric digital transformation, he provides strategic product and technology leadership for the design, development, deployment, and evolution of telemedicine and telehealth solutions.
Before joining AMD, Chip built the first multi-tenant nationwide telemedicine network and marketplace to enable member hospitals and private providers to partner in any specialty, created the first telehealth platform with intelligent routing and queuing for video and integrated language interpretation, and introduced affordable internet access and free technology skills training to unserved communities in Appalachia.
He is passionate about open standards, interoperability, and eliminating barriers to information and health equity.
Telehealth implementation should be a joint responsibility of IT, administration, and providers. Otherwise, a lack of teamwork between departments leads to siloing and lots of passing the telemedicine “hot potato” among those who don’t have all the information.
