The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation for health systems, and many of them are beefing up their IT and cybersecurity teams.
Six details:
- Cleveland Clinic has 78 IT- and cybersecurity-related job openings at its hospitals, ranging from senior cybersecurity specialists to IT project managers. The health system's main campus is looking for a lead systems analyst for quality and patient safety.
- Cleveland Clinic is one of three health systems backing an innovation district. Under an agreement with Ohio officials, the system must hire 1,000 employees over seven years. The system is also developing IT tools to use in patient care. For example, researchers from Cleveland Clinic developed a machine learning tool that predicts whether cancer immunotherapy drugs will be effective for patients.
