PODCAST: One-on-One w/OhioHealth System VP & CIO Michael Krouse, Chapter 1

Michael Krouse, SVP & CIO, OhioHealth

Just like any multi-hospital health system, OhioHealth’s 16 facilities are measuring up differently when it comes to besting ONC’s Meaningful Use bar. And while CIO Michael Krouse says all 16 facilities many not qualify for every HITECH dollar, he’s supremely confident of avoiding the government’s penalty sticks. To learn more about how the Stimulus program is playing in the nation’s heartland, healthsystemCIO.com editor Anthony Guerra recently talked with Krouse, who currently spends his free time authoring a book on leadership development.
