Healthcare IT Leader
Jeremy Farnum
Building technology teams and systems that support exceptional patient care.
About
Director of Information Systems at Lompoc Valley Medical Center. I drive operational initiatives and build the infrastructure that keeps my community hospital running.
Before healthcare, I spent years helping small businesses and startups with technology strategy, branding, and digital marketing. That experience taught me how to communicate across disciplines, build solutions that fit real constraints, and focus on outcomes over tools.
My work sits at the intersection of healthcare operations and technology- EHR implementations, clinical workflow optimization, revenue cycle systems, and the constant balancing act of keeping a hospital's infrastructure secure, compliant, and useful.
I believe technology in healthcare should be invisible when it's working well. Clinicians shouldn't have to fight their tools. My job is to make sure they don't.
Focus
Orchestrating large-scale system initiatives that require cross-functional alignment, change management, and relentless communication.
Translating between clinical needs and technical capabilities to ensure technology serves patient care, not the other way around.
Breaking down silos—technical and organizational—so information moves where decisions are made.
Building teams and processes that deliver reliable infrastructure while staying invisible to the people who depend on it.
Connecting operational performance to financial outcomes through better visibility, smarter workflows, and data people actually use.
Developing people who think beyond their function, communicate across disciplines, and own their impact on the organization.
Balancing protection with pragmatism—meeting regulatory demands without creating barriers to the work that matters.
