Today: The CIOs Role in Turbulent Times

A little Friday Riff on how I might be approaching the world as a Healthcare CIO. Here is what ChatGPT-4 has to say. The transcript is a podcast where the speaker is discussing the financial and cultural changes in healthcare over the last three years. They argue that healthcare has transformed, and the industry needs to consider whether they want to go back to the pre-pandemic period or transform into something new. The speaker, a former CIO of a hospital system, recommends that executives should have one foot in the present and one in the future. They should think about what the future will hold in terms of technology, competition, economic conditions, and their capabilities to compete for patients, improve quality, and reduce the cost of care. The speaker also emphasizes that leaders must innovate, ask crazy questions, and avoid being flatfooted, i.e., unprepared.
