What does CPO and CMO stand for? This is in regards to the field of clinical operations.?

Question

I'm absolutely clueless. Please advise.

Answer 1

CPO is probably "chief privacy officer", someone who is involved with risk assessment and managment, patient privacy, etc. They would be focused with a lot of legal stuff, making the hospital administration happy, and isn't usually a medical doctor.

CMO is "chief medical officer", someone who provides leadership and/or oversight for a range of quality assessment/quality improvement, patient safety, and population-based health management programs. Their focus is on making the patients happy and is usually a trained physician.
