Bridging the gap to align care and tech teams

The chasm between healthcare and IT leaders is so wide that it often seems they speak different languages. To bring those teams together, more and more healthcare organizations are adding a new C-suite executive. Whether a Chief Experience Officer, Chief Innovation Officer or Chief Medical Information Officer, that individual’s default role becomes “Chief Translation Officer.” In this roundtable, Jessie Beegle, Chief Innovation Officer at LifePoint Health, William Walders CIO & SVP Operations at Healthfirst, John Boerstler, Chief Experience Officer at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Greg Gilbert of MicKinsey, will discuss how this new breed of executive aligns both areas of the business by identifying common challenges, implementing technologies and processes to address those, and developing strategies with specific goals and metrics to overcome them.
