Testimonial
“I have known Anthony Guerra for a few years now, having worked with him while he was Editor-in-Chief of Healthcare Informatics, and now as founder and editor of healthsystemCIO.com. Since I have always found his columns both insightful and engaging, I recently asked Anthony to present his thoughts on HITECH and the overall HIT industry before our Board of Trustees IT Steering Committee. The outcome was exactly as I had hoped — our committee members were able to see our strategic plans in light of overall industry developments and to better understand the need for continued investments in information technology. While they trust me implicitly, it was very helpful to have a neutral third-party, especially a respected journalist, deliver his perspectives on what is being asked of hospitals by the Federal Government today.” — Alfred Campanella, VP & CIO, Virtua Health, New Jersey
