For the 89th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by John Lee, MD, FAAEM, FAMIA, FHIMSS, Founder at HIT Peak Advisors and Former CMIO to talk about healthcare IT data! We kick this episode off by discussing how the consumer has evolved in healthcare and its impact on the IT and services we need. Next, we evaluate the data in healthcare to determine three things — how good it is, where we are at with it, and what will happen if we don’t improve it. Lee then talks about his use of Epic Cosmos and how that has changed his approach to leveraging data in healthcare. Then we debate over how to bridge the communication gap between clinical and IT. Next, we share some examples of where IT is changing healthcare and examples of where we’re just paving dysfunctional cowpaths. Lastly, Lee passes along the best piece of advice he’s gotten in his career.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:
