Ben A. Zaniello, MD, MPH

Ben A. Zaniello, MD MPH, is the Chief Medical Officer of PointClickCare, the largest Post-Acute and Acute Care Network in North America. He has worked in care transformation for over a decade, formerly at Collective Medical, which PointClickCare acquired in 2020.  Before Collective, Dr. Zaniello worked at Providence Health, the 53 Hospital Seattle-based health system.  As their Chief Medical Information Officer in Population Health, he ran his division’s vendor selection and was responsible for the technical infrastructure that supported Providence’s risk based contracts, including their landmark direct to employer contracts with Boeing and Intel.  He also led projects on consumer experience optimization, EMR integration/data exchange with the Providence’s strategic partners, and digital innovation projects with Providence’s Venture investment fund.

Prior to Providence, Dr. Zaniello did NIH-funded translational research in virology and population health at University of Washington while consulting in healthcare technology.  Previously, he worked at the early Java startup Marimba as well as the enterprise software company Trilogy in Austin, Texas where he helped build their Healthcare and Financial Services practice.

Dr. Zaniello continues to practice in medicine, focusing on Utah’s high risk populations.  His undergraduate work was at Stanford (in Architecture, German, and Computer Science) but he returned home to his native Kentucky for medical school at the University of Kentucky College Of Medicine.  He did his Internal Medicine residency at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Infectious Disease fellowship at University of Washington where he also received his Masters in Public Health.

When not focusing on the healthcare triple aim of better access, higher quality, and lower cost, due to his three children Dr. Zaniello is primarily focused on the paternal triple aim of sibling conflict reduction, pediatric iPad removal, and sleep optimization.
