Arkansas Children’s has promoted long-time system leader Erin Parker to the position of senior vice president and chief information officer.
Parker, who had served as interim in the role since July, most recently served as vice president/system compliance officer for Arkansas Children’s. She’s held various leadership roles in the system over the past 14 years.
“After a nationwide search and interview process of high-caliber candidates who could lead our deeply engaged and innovative Information Services team, Erin stood out among some of the best leaders in the industry,” said Arkansas Children’s President and CEO Marcy Doderer, in a news release. “I am proud that we found our best candidate internally. I look forward to working with the team as they help define and deliver unprecedented child health with Erin’s guidance.”
Parker started as a volunteer for Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock in 2001, and joined the team in a professional capacity when an internal audit position opened in 2006. Her tenure at Arkansas Children’s has also included service as the system’s HIPAA privacy officer and corporate compliance director.
Parker holds a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and a bachelor’s degree in professional accountancy from Ouachita Baptist University. She is certified in health care compliance (CHC) and health care privacy compliance, and is a member of the Children’s Hospital Association’s Chief Information Officer cohort.
