Schlissel said details about the about the process to identify the university’s next permanent vice president for information technology would be announced soon.

Since 2002, Rosenberg has served in a variety of progressively responsible academic and administrative positions including director of the division of critical care in the department of anesthesiology, director of the cardiovascular center surgical intensive care unit and director of the critical care medicine fellowship program.

In 2007, he was the medical director for the hospital electronic order entry project (Carelink) and then inpatient electronic health IT. In 2010, Rosenberg became the first health system chief medical information officer, where he also directed the U-M implementation of the Epic electronic health record system (MiChart).

During this time, he created and led the office of clinical informatics and became the first U-M Health IT steward, serving on the then recently-created U-M IT Council. In 2013 Rosenberg launched the information and data management division in the Medical Center IT (MCIT) organization, and became its first executive director. In January 2016, Rosenberg was asked to lead MCIT as the U-M Hospitals and Health Centers interim chief information officer and subsequently combined the IT departments of the health system and medical school in April, 2016, as the interim system chief information officer.
