Background

About Scott Schell

I serve as Chief Medical Officer at Cognizant, where my focus is translating advanced technologies into clinical and operational impact. I focus on AI-driven documentation, value-based care analytics, and the resilience of provider and payer systems, ensuring that innovation moves from pilot to scale and delivers measurable outcomes. With training in surgical oncology, molecular genetics, and health management, I bring a perspective that crosses science, practice, and enterprise leadership. I have led innovation and transformation programs at Cleveland Clinic, UPMC, and Alere Health, and I have built health technology ventures from startup through scale, giving me a vantage point across the continuum of care and enterprise growth. Today, my work is about collapsing the distance between truth, translation, and execution, ensuring that healthcare organizations can adopt new models faster, safer, and with greater trust.
