On our January 19, 2022 IS & RESO Open Forum, BJ Moore recognized the Q4 2021 winners of our EVP/CIO SMIle Awards. Winners were selected from 23 highly-competitive peer nominations.
This was our fourth quarter of our IS & RESO peer-nominated award program recognizing business achievements of both individuals and teams who live our Providence Values, lead with excellence, and demonstrate the Simplify, Modernize, Innovate principles, so crucial to the success of our combined organization.

Individual Winner: Kris Covington, program manager, Epic
Kris’ work on intake optimization provided a way for the teams to easily share request information outside of Dynamics with application teams, thus reducing manual processes. Expanding access to Dynamics ensured IS leaders can easily monitor and track volumes of requests from various perspectives.
