Healthcare IT departments are growing increasingly concerned about issues related to staffing, budget, and their aging technology infrastructure. The pool of people who possess the specific skills they demand is diminishing; budgets are consistently being trimmed, and aging technology limits productivity levels and security posture.
A recent Becker’s Healthcare article touched on these very topics, “’People, skills, budget’: What health system CIOs need from IT departments.” Brett Mello, CIO of Kingman (Ariz.) Regional Medical Center said, “Specialized skills [data analytics/engineering, cybersecurity, informatics] are in high demand, so we frequently need to ‘grow our own’ and develop talent with existing staff.”
Mello also said, “Margins for everyone are slim, but we all need to advance our organizations through technology in order to remain competitive, improve quality, and increase productivity and efficiency…There’s just not enough money to go around, so we do what we can and hope for the best.”
People, process, and budget for tools play crucial roles in driving technological advancements to improve patient care and operational efficiency. Simply hoping for the best is not a viable strategy. Rather, the best strategy is to collaborate with an IT partner who can alleviate the burden of the talent shortage, aged technology, and tight budgets.
