Committee Composition

The committee consists of three full-time faculty members elected by the Assembly, three full-time faculty appointed by the Dean. A member of the business office and a representative of the Information Technology group will be appointed by the Dean. Faculty will serve staggered three-year terms. The committee elects the chairperson and vice chairperson from among the members. The vice chairperson will become chairperson upon completion of the chairperson's term.

Standing Committee Charge

As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of this committee to provide strategic planning and direction for information technology support, based on a systematic plan drawn up by the Director of IT with active input from the committee. The committee will assist in setting priorities for major IT projects and initiatives. The committee will periodically review IT service, performance and effectiveness. The IT Steering Committee, in consultation with the IT Director, will review the annual IT budget and make recommendations to the Dean regarding resources needed to support information technology (hardware, software and personnel).

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012

This year, I am requesting that the Information Technology Steering Committee accomplish the following:

  1. Be an active participant in the planning, testing and implementation of the AxiUm Clinic Management System upgrade.
  2. Review and approve IT project priorities as they relate to teaching, learning and research.
  3. Review the computer hardware/software refresh/purchasing policy and make recommendations regarding the centralization of CoD acquisitions.
  4. Actively pursue volume licensing at the university, college and departmental levels
  5. Continue to evaluate educational technology needs in the college and make recommendations to improve the level of service to the faculty in regard to educational technology.
  6. Follow up on the AxiUm security audit to ensure that the UF IT Security recommendations are completed.
  7. Oversee the AxiUm Risk Assessment to assure that the needs of the faculty, staff and students are considered and assessed properly.
  8. Review the COD 2010–2012 IT Strategic Plan and Work Plan and update it for 2012–2014. The IT Steering Committee should coordinate these efforts with those of the College of Dentistry Strategic Planning Committee.
  9. Continue to review college, Health Science Center and university IT policies and recommend changes or improvements to me on college level policies based on these reviews.
  10. Review and discuss the College of Dentistry conflict of interest policy as it applies to hardware, software and service purchases (e.g., ICAT, Florida Probe, Infinitt, Simplant, ITERO, Dell Printers, etc.).
  11. Be involved and oversee the Academic Health Center IT restructure, as it affects the CoD. Assure that CoD services and service levels are maintained and that any changes affecting the CoD are reviewed and approved by the appropriate CoD governance committees and the dean.
  12. Act as a communication source to the College of Dentistry on IT-related issues that affect the entire college community.
  13. Review, approve and disseminate IT related policies and procedures that affect the CoD.

Each standing faculty committee is charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college strategic plan. I would like the IT Steering Committee to determine which systems are critical to the CoD and develop performance metrics/criteria for them. Develop measures related to our key IT strategies, review them periodically and share those analyses with me and the Faculty Advisory Board.

The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college's model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

The Information Technology Steering Committee meets once per month year-round. Meetings are held over lunch and are scheduled to last 1 hour but may extend to 1½ hours. All committee business is conducted during meetings with no outside work required.

Time commitment: Approximately 1½ hours per month.

Schedule of Meetings

The Information Technology Steering Committee meetings will be held from 12:00–1:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
