In my mind the CIO is the CDO plus the network operations guy. If you extract the CDO element from it or the CIO, they’re no longer the fun, cool, glamorous techie. They're just operations, right? You might just want an IT operator that says greenlight screen network is on and we're safe. But I think that really great CIOs do both.

When people request any sort of technology implementation, you want to insert design thinking at the beginning. In what way will you analyze it? Who's going to be using the technology? How are they going to be using it? What's the clinical purpose? What are they trying to accomplish?

IT leaders can have way too many priorities and way too much discussion for way too long about getting something done. I saw COVID speed in the last year and I hope it continues. COVID speed. COVID focus. Let's not get bogged down in some of the debates. Let’s focus on getting things done.
