As organizations deal with the lingering challenges stemming from Covid, while looking ahead at how digital tools can help improve engage and ease burnout, it’s never been more important for leaders to come together, as several did during a panel at ViVE22.
“To be successful, we need diverse opinions and diverse experiences represented,” said Tanya Townsend. In a recent interview, she talked about her goals as CHIME Board Chair, why having “shoulders to lean on” is critical, and the biggest lessons learned from Covid.
The key to accelerating innovation – and solving the biggest problems in healthcare – is bringing “the whole health and care ecosystem together,” said Keith Fraidenburg, COO of CHIME, during a discussion about the upcoming ViVE event.
There’s no doubt that strategic alignment, governance structure and executive buy-in are key factors in advancing innovation. But so is a willingness to step completely out of the box, said panelists Rick Schooler, Tressa Springmann and Anne Wellington at the CHIME21 Fall Forum.
Among the healthcare leaders honored at the CHIME21 Fall Forum was Daniel Barchi, who was named CIO of the year for the excellent work he and his team did to accelerate telehealth adoption and share learnings with others during the early stages of Covid-19.
