Cesar Sevilla
Cesar Sevilla is an information technology analyst in the Mount Sinai Health System’s Population Health Department. Although he does not have direct patient contact, Cesar is recognized by his colleagues for always putting patients first and was recently honored with IT’s “Be Patient Centric” award.
A priority project for Cesar is overseeing Cureatr, a secure text-messaging application, now used by more than 3,600 staff across the Health System to share details about patient care and coordinate treatment, all while remaining HIPAA compliant.
Cesar says, “This platform makes everyone’s jobs easier and clearer, so that the focus can be caring for patients.”
Technologists can work in any industry, but Cesar chose health care because of a desire to have a positive impact on patients’ lives.
“By supporting the needs of care teams and staff, IT provides a strong foundation for patient care,” Cesar says. “It is gratifying to hear patient success stories that track back to my efforts and those of my team.”
