Healthcare Information Final

Visit an IT department in a healthcare facility in your community and interview the CIO or department director. Examine the IT department’s organizational structure. What functions or services does the IT department provide? How centralized are IT services within the organization? Does the organization employ a CMIO, CISO, or CTO? If so, what are each person’s job qualifications and responsibilities? Find out the individual’s roles, responsibilities, qualifications, background, experience, and challenges.
