“As our system’s first vice president and chief data and analytics officer, Mike will support UC Health’s commitment to driving innovation, leading the way our system collects, interprets and uses data and analytics to enhance the delivery of care and achieve operational excellence,” said Evaline A. Alessandrini, MD, senior vice president & chief medical officer for UC Health.

In this new role, Legg will collaborate with clinical and operational leadership to build a deeper culture of data-driven decision making; establish a formal process of gathering, interpreting and sharing data; and establishing a process by which employees across UC Health can access the right data at the right time to drive the right decisions.
