Day 2 November 9, 2022 | CHIME 30th Anniversary – Past, Present, Future

The healthcare industry took great strides in software development in the 1980s and 90s. Healthcare organizations began to create formal IT departments (sometimes housed in basements) that managed mainframes and transferred information using floppy disks. Then in 1992, founder John Glaser envisioned the formal role of CIO to operate a growing plethora of systems, address modernization, and lead hospital strategic planning, which has led to modern health IT. He developed an association tasked with creating exceptional leaders that would transform health and care throughout the world. This session celebrates the evolution of CIOs and CHIME. Join us to explore the ever-changing role of CIO and CHIME and envision a healthcare future that requires seasoned leaders, ongoing innovation, and advancing technology to optimize patient experience and clinical outcomes.
