San Bernardino County said ’s Hospital Review named Andrea L. Daugherty one of its 2026 Hospital and Health System Chief Transformation Officers to Know.
Daugherty joined Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in early 2026 as the hospital’s inaugural chief information and digital transformation officer; she is the first executive to lead ARMC’s enterprise digital and information strategy.
She focuses on six domains: clinical applications, informatics, infrastructure, data and analytics, cybersecurity, and health information management; she is consolidating three previously separate departments into a single integrated function and setting its strategy, governance and operating model.
“Andrea’s recognition by ‘Becker’s’ reflects the leadership she brings to a role that touches every part of our hospital,” said Andrew Goldfrach, FACHE, chief executive officer of ARMC. “Her work to bring our technology teams together and focus digital investments on patient care will help us serve our community more effectively.”
The county said Daugherty applies a “Four Returns” discipline, requiring every technology investment to deliver measurable value across mission, investment, sustainability and experience; her priorities include ambient listening technology for physicians and modernized telehealth to expand access for patients in rural and underserved communities.
The Journal’s analysis: if those projects succeed they could broaden telehealth access in rural and underserved areas and centralize data management that supports clinical care and reporting.
