|
Summary
As the data-driven healthcare landscape continues to evolve, having an adaptive data strategy has become increasingly important. In this article, Donna Roach, CIO at Utah Health, and Amanda Mikhail, division chair of research innovation and digital solutions at Mayo Clinic, advocate for a shift in perspective where data is seen as a strategic asset rather than just a technical challenge. This change requires effective communication with executive teams to highlight how a robust data infrastructure can improve interoperability, streamline operations, and ultimately enhance patient care. Their insights reflect a broader trend in health system leadership where CIOs must blend technical expertise with storytelling to drive organizational success in the evolving data economy.
