Digital Health, Opioids & Women in Leadership: Our Top Interviews from 2018

During the many interviews we’ve conducted this past year, a number of topics have risen to the surface, but perhaps none more so than digital health. Whether it’s having the right infrastructure in place, implementing the tools to enable it, or appointing the right leaders, digital was king in 2018, and will most likely retain the title in the New Year.

But it wasn’t the only area CIOs and other leaders focused on. As has been the case for the past several years, clinical transformation was a big topic of interest, as well as navigating mergers, leveraging IT to prevent opioid abuse, the challenges and opportunities facing women in leadership roles, and the qualities needed to lead during tumultuous times.
