As more and more healthcare organizations implement advanced IT systems and new federal requirements impose complex regulations on providers, the healthcare CIO has garnered an expansive range of responsibilities to address, challenges to face and opportunities to meet. Notably, the CIO position has solidified itself as fixture in executive decision-making and process design.
In an upcoming webinar sponsored by IT Optimizers, a panel of healthcare insiders as well as thought leaders from outside “traditional” healthcare markets will come together to discuss the changes and models for CIOs in the industry. Additionally, they will talk about ways CIOs’ relationships with other C-suite executives should be structured to best support success.
IT Optimizers, an information management consulting firm, focuses on promoting and improving the strategic, effective and innovative use of information technology. IT Optimizers’ team of experienced CIOs, COOs, process excellence experts and other managers work directly with the leadership of health systems, health plans, hospitals, medical foundations and groups to drive business and service excellence through technology adoption.
The presenters of the webinar include John Glaser, PhD, senior vice president of Cerner; Zan Calhoun, CIO of Denver, Colo.-based Davita HealthCare Partners; Paul Kleeburg, MD, chair of the board of directors of HIMSS and CMIO of Bloomington, Minn.-based Stratis Health; and M. Michelle Hood, president and CEO of Brewer-based Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems. Joseph DeLuca, managing practice director of IT Optimizers, will moderate the session.
The webinar will be held Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 12:00 p.m. PST. To learn more and register for this webinar, click here.
