For the 68th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are talking to Shafiq Rab, MD, Chief Digital Officer, System CIO and EVP at Tufts Medicine, who just recently won 2024 CHIME CIO of the Year! As the CIO of the Year, we are very excited to pick his brain on health IT and leadership, so we kick this episode off by asking Rab what his health IT top 3 are and why. Then we discuss a time Rab failed and what he was able to learn from it. Next, we get into the award of 2024 CHIME CIO of the Year and how it felt to be honored with this incredible achievement. We then move on to discussing the ongoing projects Rab is working on that will have the most impact 10 years from now. Finally, to wrap everything up Rab shares what it takes to be a great healthcare CIO leader and passes along advice to anyone aspiring to be the next CIO of the Year.
