We firmly believe in what we call the mouth body connection or systemic health. It's real. There’s true systemic links to your health from the mouth.

I think everyone who's taking over a health IT team is going to be told, we want more agility. We want to reduce head count and do more with less. We want the engagement to be higher. Those are the typical ones and we as leaders need to figure out how we are going to get there.

Mark Weisman, CMIO

A lot of the manufacturers don't have a process for updating software or technology within the medical device itself. The other challenge is there's just so many. At Cook Children's we have 20,000 medical devices on our network. If you can imagine trying to manage, keep up and ensure that they're all at the right software code levels or even just still in good functioning order. Something of that magnitude is really hard for an organization to manage when you don't have good tools to do that. So pile the security risk on with the fact that there's so many tools or devices out there today, you really kind of create this perfect storm of issues that need to be addressed in healthcare.
