For the 115th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by John Gaede, CIO at San Juan Regional Medical Center, to talk about healthcare communication solutions! We kick this episode off by discussing the big challenges Gaede faces as a rural health CIO. Next, Gaede shares why he chose to go with the PerfectServe solution over the EHR functionality for his organization. Then, we dive deep into the scope of Gaede’s project with PerfectServe as he shares his main goals for it as a clinical project vs as an IT project. Gaede has mentioned that this is the most important project he’s undertaken and is the major focus of his transformation efforts, so we dive into why this is so important. Next, we talk about the other projects Gaede is working on/recently completed that he’s excited about. We then switch over to the technologies/solutions/vendors/etc. Gaede has not implemented, but is keeping an eye on. Lastly, we conclude this episode with Gaede sharing advice to anyone aspiring to be a CIO like him.
