It's National Engineers Week and we are celebrating Novlet Mattis, Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Orlando Health. In this episode, Novlet shares why she became a “Coder Girl”.
As Orlando Health’s CIO, Novlet provides executive leadership for information technology and systems that advance clinical and business strategies and optimize operational processes.
Mattis began her career with AT&T and started as a COBOL programmer for billing systems. She later ended up working for Dell, and after working in a couple other verticals, she was placed on a healthcare account in Texas. That is at that very moment she was introduced to healthcare IT. Mattis shares that healthcare is a unique vertical in that, even as part of IT, you feel connected to the mission of caring and healing. At Dell, Lucent and AT&T, she was able to develop great technical skills, but now in this current position she truly feels that the projects she works on are making a difference in people’s lives.
Mattis earned a bachelor’s in business administration from Howard University and an MBA from George Washington University, both in Washington, D.C. She is a Certified Healthcare CIO through the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).
