hsCIO.com Will Interview Any CIO at Any Time

How do you decide who to interview?

At healthsystemCIO.com, our name says quite a bit about our focus. Our stated motto is: “We’re willing to interview any health system or hospital CIO at any time.” We do this because every CIO has a nugget of wisdom to offer the industry, and collecting them in one place can produce a powerful knowledge repository.

On the vendor side, we are extremely selective, as our readers only want to hear from the top people at the main producers of advanced clinical technologies (EMR/CPOE). We have a standing offer to interview the following executives:

Major Acute EMRs (maximum frequency: every 6 months)

• Allscripts/Eclipsys: Glen Tullman, Phil Pead (Tullman interviewed Prior to healthsystemCIO.com Launch; Pead Interviewed 04/11/10)
• Cerner: Neal Patterson
• Epic: Judy Faulkner & Carl Dvorak (Interviewed Prior to healthsystemCIO.com Launch)
• GE Healthcare: Vishal Wanchoo (Interviewed 04/02/10)
• McKesson: Dave Souerwine (Sunny Sanyal Interviewed 02/11/10)
• Meditech: Neil Pappalardo & Howard Messing (Messing Interviewed 05/23/10)
• Siemens Healthcare: John Glaser (John Glaser Interviewed 06/29/10)

We Want to Speak With Your Customers

How can vendors “work with you”?

healthsystemCIO.com is interested in interviewing any health system or hospital CIO at any time. If, as a vendor, a hospital has contracted to use your products or services, and the CIO is willing to do a wide-ranging interview about industry trends — along with their strategic objectives and most pressing challenges — feel free to contact us. While your product or service will come up in the discussion, the interview will not be centered around it.

Sponsorship and Editorial Are Completely Separate

What is your policy on editorial/sponsorship separation?

We guarantee complete separation between editorial content and sponsorship. Our clear editorial policies make this promise easy to keep.

hsCIO.com Interviews Bring CIOs' Expertise to Light

What should interviewees know about how the process works?

healthsystemCIO.com adheres to all standard journalistic practices. As such, specific questions are not provided before the interview. Sources are encouraged to review past interviews to gain an idea of what types of topics may be covered. Formal interviews usually run between 20 and 30 minutes, are always considered “on the record” and are not subject to review or revision by the interviewee. Of course, if an interviewee notices a factual error upon publication, we will work to immediately correct it. All interviews are run in the Q&A format, either in a traditional text or as a Podcast (audio file).

Podcasts Allow Readers to Listen In Online

How do Podcasts work?

Podcasts are audio recordings of interviews which take place on a healthsystemCIO.com conference line. After calling in from a landline phone and using the receiver (no speakerphone or headset please), interviewees are notified before the recording feature is enacted.  These audio files are minimally edited before publication. Listeners can enjoy our Podcasts on the healthsystemCIO.com site or subscribe to our feed in iTunes.
