Former CIO David Furnas announced his resignation last month after coming under fire for refusing to take a pay cut as the hospital faced a financial crisis.

Mr. Furnas will be replaced not by a CIO but by a director of information systems, a position Ken Stone will fill, according to the report.

The executive restructuring was presented as a cost-saving measure, according to the report.
