CIO Podcast - Episode 117: An Inside Look on CIOs with Jeff Sturman
<div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the 117th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Jeff Sturman, Former CIO of Memorial Health System and Managing Partner & Practice Leader, Information Technology & Digital at <a href="https://wittkieffer.com/">WittKieffer</a>, to talk about the ins and outs of being a CIO! We kick this episode off by discussing why we think so many CIOs only last 3-5 years and whether we think that is a good or a bad thing. Then we list out the things that health systems are really looking for in CIOs today, that they really weren’t before. Next, Sturman shares the key aspects he wishes CIOs understood more about job searches and their careers.</span></p> <p>We know that the role of CIO does a lot, but is it too much? We dig into that by seeing what parts of a CIO’s job can be replaced by AI. Next, we debate whether the IT leadership team has become too crowded with CISO, CMIO, CDAO, CNIO, CDIO, etc. We also discuss the keys to successfully leading and creating proper reporting structures in an organization. Next, we talk about what we think is the most valuable thing a CIO could be working on right now to improve their leadership efforts. Lastly, we conclude this episode with Sturman sharing the best piece of advice he’s received in his career.</p> </div> <div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why do so many CIOs only last 3-5 years?

CIO Podcast - Episode 116: Adopting AI and Smart Tech with Jill Evans
<div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the 116th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Jill Evans, MSN, RN, NI-BC, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at <a href="https://www.metrohealth.org/">MetroHealth</a>, to talk about adopting AI and smart tech! We kick this episode off by discussing what went into the decision to deploy the <a href="https://artisight.com/">Artisight</a> Smart Hospital Platform at Metro Health – diving deep into the challenges Evans wanted to solve and the benefits she was looking to achieve. Next, Evans shares which features in the Artisight platform she’s excited to use. Then, we talk about how her staff has responded to this decision and the platform itself. The platform also has AI features, so we ask how important those features were in Evans’ decision-making process.</span></p> <p>We shift our attention more heavily to AI, getting Evans’ perspective on AI as a nurse and an informaticist, as well as her approach and evaluation of the many available AI solutions. In the past, Evans has talked about the importance of governance, so we dig into how she is approaching AI governance and if she’s doing a separate AI committee or using an existing one.</p> <p>We transition again to talking about the nursing field as a whole by discussing some of the tech realities nurses are facing that deserve more attention than they are currently receiving. Lastly, we conclude this episode with Evan offering advice to any nurse who is interested in informatics or is hoping to become a CNIO.</p> </div> <div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What went into the decision to deploy the Artisight Smart Hospital Platform?
