healthsystemCIO.com is the sole online-only publication dedicated to exclusively and comprehensively serving the information needs of healthcare CIOs.

Healthcare IT leaders are tasked with ensuring physicians are satisfied and productive with the technology in place to do their jobs. Beyond the tools needed to deliver and document care, there are operational requirements that impact costs, job satisfaction, patient access, and ultimately care quality. Workforce management is often overlooked in a sea of pressing priorities, yet it plays a crucial role in optimizing the organization’s most expensive resource: physicians. Many health systems rely on a combination of manual and technology solutions for managing provider time. This results in costly inefficiencies, underutilization of available resources, and causes enough confusion in the workplace to throw off work-life balance and increase burnout. Opportunity exists for IT leadership to help move the needle in this often-lingering manual process. In this session, we’ll speak with leaders who realize that the costs of inefficient workforce management make this a problem worthy of addressing, and discuss possible solutions.
