March Issue.
The March issue of Becker’s Hospital Review is all about technology, which touches every aspect of the modern-day hospital or health system.
In the next few pages, you will find the annual list of 100 Hospital and Health System CIOs to Know. These information technology leaders have tackled the challenging world of health IT and continue to innovate during a time of immense change.
The issue’s cover story, “The Hospital’s Guide to Getting Hacked,” discusses the cybersecurity risks hospitals face today. Experts now say it’s not a matter of if but a matter of when a hospital undergoes a cyberattack or data breach.
This article shares best practices and defense plans to help you keep your organization prepared.
Other stories in the March issue set out to solve a number of health IT-related questions: How are EHRs changing medical school curriculum? How can CFOs and CIOs work better together? What options do struggling hospitals have when it comes to revenue cycle management? The March issue also includes a roundtable with five hospital and health system CIOs from around the country, along with a Q&A with Phyllis Teater, CIO of OSU Wexner Medical Center, about the ups and downs of opening a new hospital in the heyday of health IT.
