Yale New Haven Health’s Lisa Stump named as one of 18 women leaders selected for Carol Emmott Fellowship

New Haven, CT (Dec. 7, 2017) – Lisa Stump, senior vice president and chief information officer for Yale New Haven Health and Yale School of Medicine, has been selected as one of 18 to receive a Carol Emmott Fellowship. She will be part of a one-of-a-kind program for professionals who have demonstrated potential to ascend to senior executive and board-level roles.

The 14-month program expands the leadership capacity of the fellows, who are chosen for their ability to deliver results within their organizations and potential to advance to senior executive roles in health.

Stump joined YNHH in 1996 and has held a number of roles of increased responsibility, including director of Pharmacy, administrative director in clinical informatics and vice president, Epic Project. Before becoming CIO, she was associate chief information officer, leading integration of Information Technology Services staff across YNHHS. She has also led consolidation of multiple technology platforms in bed management, infection control, laboratory information and blood bank; spearheaded the pilot and launch of the InSight Tele-ICU platform; and launched several innovation partnerships with technology and applications vendors. She holds a faculty appointment at Sacred Heart University in clinical informatics. Stump earned her BS in pharmacy from the University of Connecticut and her MS in pharmacy from The Ohio State University.

The fellowship is tailored to expand the connections and experiences that top leadership candidates require to have the most influence in improving health for all. Fellows are nominated by their sponsoring organization and compete for acceptance into the program with a proposed impact project that transcends their current role to advance an area of health. They continue to work for their organizations during the fellowship, which provides them with more opportunities to build networking relationships with other top leaders as well as exercise high-level skills as they implement their impact projects.

The newly selected class represents an expansion of the program, growing from 15 to 18 fellows and from 12 sponsoring organizations to 15. The class of 2018 also reflects a broader range of disciplines from emergency medicine and surgery to healthcare information technology and finance.
