The fun begins when you look at the various CIO personalities out there. They don’t always fit the corporate climate or mesh well with the CEO’s personality. Personalities and stress factors all contribute to decision making and if you take a step back, you often can get an education, as well as some entertainment value out of it.

During an interview it’s fairly common to discuss your career successes, and where you have made a meaningful difference along the way. What’s amazing is that so many candidates are too humble to talk about why they just might be one of the top CIOs in the country. I’m not pontificating that anyone should boldly walk into an interview spouting off their greatness and providing dozens of career accomplishments from recent decades. I am, however, suggesting that you really think about how you would answer a question about a time or situation where your leadership—one single key decision you made—had a considerable impact on your organization.

People are simply amazing, wonderful creatures to watch, especially in an interview setting. Some candidates prepare for days while others rely on their people skills to get them through without any preparation whatsoever. Bad move. To totally rely on your gift of the gab is risky, especially when the interviewer begins to ask questions – or peels back the layers of the onion. Without some advance prep, most candidates just can’t keep it up - a few softballs - and then, game over.

Achieving meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) as part of the mission to improve outcomes has become one of the top strategic missions of most health systems. The increasing importance of healthcare technology in the strategic landscape is changing the manner in which hospitals operate. It also has accelerated the demand for a clinical IT skill set and physician IT leadership. Physicians are stepping into the role, often referred to as the chief medical information officer (CMIO), and moving these initiatives ahead without the benefit of a playbook or roadmap. As the role grows in importance, we see it evolving.
