How Social Media Monitoring Can Improve Patient Care Jan 21, 2015

Show notes

The goal of the Healthcare industry has been to create an overall patient experience, one that gets patients to connect with doctors, to monitor their health activity at home and to be informed about their condition and needs. One-third of Americans use social media research health conditions via social media and even make decisions on their care based on that information. How is Healthcare doing at tapping into that community via social media monitoring? How can it go beyond bolstering the brand to actually improving patient care and outcomes?

Is Leadership a Team Sport? Jan 07, 2015

Show notes

Any truly successful leader realizes they can't accomplish all they wish, nor did they get where they are, by doing it alone. Leaders can rally others and can create a shared vision or common goal. What's more, they enable others to act and together overcome any roadblocks or obstacles on the path to success. But teamwork can only be sustained when a leader promotes mutual reliance in themselves and others on the team. How does a leader driving the bus manage to inspire the rest of the passengers on his or her journey?

Building the All-In-One CIO Dec 10, 2014

Show notes

Information Technology has never been more important to the evolution and competitiveness of business than it is now. And yet responsibilities that would now be handed over to the Chief Digital Officers and Chief Data Officers are skills and competencies CIOs now need to develop in order to remain relevant. As more technology spending is being diverted outside the traditional IT budget and toward the consumer, CIOs need to adapt their best practices of traditional process management with the more fluid demands of technology and the customer. How are CIOs juggling these many hats and working to become a CIO who does it all?

Healthcare Meets Hospitality Nov 26, 2014

Show notes

Complete with flat screen TVs in every room, room service, a grand piano in the foyer, elegant architecture and amenities for the whole family during your stay, hospitals are beginning to look more and more like upscale hotels. Healthcare should continually strive to improve the patient experience and remove the sterile, sickly environment that has long been associated with hospitals. Should Healthcare CIOs consider looking to the innovations in the Hospitality industry, where technology and data has been utilized to predict the needs of guests and provide a completely integrated experience that feels memorable and pleasant? How have other hospitals already made their patient experiences more memorable? What can Healthcare CIOs begin implementing today in a way that makes sense for their industry's demands?

Enabling Real Time Analytics Nov 25, 2014

Show notes

It goes without saying that the world could benefit from having real-time analytics embedded in their organizational workflow and decision making, but how are we currently approaching building or buying this capability? Innovative platforms such as in-memory computing could be an effective enabler of real-time analytics, but have these platforms been successful? If so, what would be the tenants of such a platform for it to create real value within the organization, and how far are we from adopting it? With that said, we wouldn't want something so powerful to be seen as a privileged resource, so would it make sense to offer this as a service?

Is There a Staffing Crisis in Healthcare IT? Nov 19, 2014

Show notes

With healthcare organizations required to meet compliance standards and use specialized systems offered by software vendors, healthcare is becoming increasingly beholden to IT providers. In order to meet these demands, they require people with the talent to handle these tools, but rarely have the budget to attract or retain them. Is there a staffing crisis in healthcare IT? How will this knowledge be developed and retained internally? Considering the investment challenges and the equal shortage of clinicians from other parts of the organization, how do we work to solving this staffing shortage?

9 to 5 Leaders Nov 12, 2014

Show notes

Too often employees don't aspire to be leaders, to find themselves in the role of inflated responsibilities, expectations, energy and time commitments. But imagine if your entire team could embrace their inner leader and think and act in a way that drove innovation, shared knowledge effectively and produced consistently high performance, all while allowing them to maintain their regular roles, hours and expectations? In practice, how well would a team of 9 to 5 leaders actually work, and could it even become a reality in the first place?

Improving Cyber Security Awareness and Behavior Oct 29, 2014

Show notes

With the rise of data breaches, CIOs and CISOs are quickly learning that internal security breaches as a result of social engineering are occurring more often than they'd like to admit. And while everyone seems to be championing best practices for Cyber Security, awareness is not the same as changing behavior. It's our human qualities that make us most susceptible to human engineers. If a company were to take the millions they invest in security technology and begin focusing on the people side, how much of a real difference can smarter awareness make?

Cyber Security Readiness: Prevention vs. Response Oct 15, 2014

Show notes

Consider this: A high level threat or APT has presented an aggressive and imminent threat on your organization. Depending on the company and the circumstance, you face either severe loss and theft of precious crown jewels, or the disruption and sabotage of your operations from those looking to do harm. You can either prioritize prevention and do all that's possible to stop the attack, or you can best prepare yourself to respond and make decisions when the attack comes. On this show, we weigh both perspectives and determine which is best for your organization.

Establishing Stronger Standards for Data Breach Protection Oct 08, 2014

Show notes

Left and right, major CISOs have suffered data breaches despite undergoing best practices for security protection. Threats keep surfacing, and there's no such thing as "perfect security". Where should organizations rethink security standards and better assess the risks at hand? Understanding those threats starts at putting higher standards in place, but what would a reasonable set of standards entail? Could they be enforced, will they be adopted, and what added cost and impact would meeting these standards put on organizations and their consumers?
