In this interview, C. Martin Harris, M.D., chief information officer of the Cleveland Clinic and a practicing internist, shares his thoughts on health-system decision making and leadership. Among his remarks:
“In 2016 and beyond, CIOs should be thinking about bringing new skill sets into their organizations. To me, those skills sets would include business analyst capabilities and enterprise-wide systems design. And by that, I do not mean just information system design. In the 21st century, we must reimagine a healthcare system that will be built upon capabilities and connections that simply did not exist just a few years ago. To envision a new kind of HIT-enabled system of care, we will need people who see the role of technology in a more integrated way.”
