Looking forward to the CHIME Fall Forum

Tomorrow I’ll be heading to the CHIME Fall Forum. It’s the premiere meeting of healthcare CIOs. I love the opportunity to sit down with CIO’s and talk about what’s happening with them. The event is in San Antonio, so let me know if you’ll be there so we can meet and say hi.

I think the topics are going to be pretty predictable at the event. I’m sure there will be plenty of meaningful use and ICD-10 discussions, but I think that analytics and what they’re doing with it will also be extremely popular. I’m also interested to hear what people are doing as far as security and privacy. Things like the Bash vulnerability were a major deal and I’ll be interested to see if people really dealt with it appropriately. I’m afraid I’ll meet some who ask me what vulnerability I’m talking about. That will be sad, very sad.

What do you think are the hot topics in healthcare IT? I’m interested to know if these hospital CIOs can focus on anything but the regulatory related projects. If they are, I’ll be interested to hear what projects they are taking on next. Are they doing secure text messaging? Are they focused on revenue cycle? What about patient engagement?

The battle to stay on top of everything that’s happening in healthcare IT never ends. I’ll be interested to hear where the battle is heading next. If you have thoughts, I’d love to hear them in the comments.
