by Sharyn Leaver

with Laurie M. Orlov, Brandy Worthington


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

It's an exciting time to be a healthcare CIO. Technology advancements, healthcare consumerism, and government funding have created a perfect storm of opportunity for innovation. Forrester recently spoke with Texas Health CIO Ed Marx and CHRISTUS Health CIO George Conklin to understand how these two healthcare systems — a university health system and a faith-based health system — are supporting innovation, incubating new revenue sources, and backing CIO creativity and new uses of information. Healthcare CIOs can follow the Texas Health and CHRISTUS examples if they are fortunate to have entrepreneurial management, linked business and technology strategies, and the personal confidence and drive to harness technology in new ways.
