Reviews

"Ms. Saltiel Busch powerfully and succinctly reflects the current role and challenges of the modern CIO. In her cogent analysis, she alludes to the demands of the evolving healthcare business and technology, projecting that the more innovative and forward thinking CIOs are better equipped to manage change and ultimately thrive in their professional roles."
- Lac Van Tran, Senior Vice President, CIO, and Associate Dean, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"Organizations aspiring to meet the challenges of the future would be prudent to consider the frameworks and processes outlined by Ms. Saltiel Busch in evaluating the state of their healthcare data. Her book outlines the people, processes, assumptions/constraints, and technology competencies that should be considered in conducting effective gap analysis management. Kudos for developing a roadmap for this complex body of work!"
- Michelle Currie, CDO, CETA Performance Services LLC, San Francisco, California"Technological advances in healthcare, including EHR implementation and related technologically incentivized revenue streams, present a double-edged sword to the healthcare industry. Ms. Saltiel Busch identifies many of these risks and challenges-most notably the evolution of new but necessary hybrid management roles that join clinical and financial technology in a new and different way."
- Kevin Flynn, Vice President Finance/CFO, Associates in Nephrology, SC, Chicago, Illinois"As Ms. Saltiel Busch aptly points out, the executive leadership roles are becoming increasingly integrated. As the healthcare industry embraces the challenges of the Triple Aim, the collaboration of the information executive team is critical."
- James Brenza, CDO, InXite Health, Delaware, Ohio"Ms. Saltiel Busch provides great insights as to the changing dynamic in leadership teams at hospitals and health systems."
