You continue to face the very complex challenge of risk and reward when hiring skill sets for your health data management, business intelligence and patient-care operating data needs. It’s not unusual for you to feel your pulse rate rise when you starting mapping the rugged process of specifying, recruiting, vetting, interviewing onboarding and monitoring progress to get to a payback point in one of your key functional areas.

We feel your pain. In this pointed and salient article from Becker’s Health IT and CIO Review Roundtable, five veteran healthcare chief information officers talk about their challenges and their goals for the year.

One comment, by Mary Ann Leach of Children’s Hospital Colorado, says a lot about analysts and data scientist as core performers in carrying out their patient-care mission,“We are always going to need great analysts, people who understand clinical and business workflow and research needs, and who can transfer those needs to system design and implementation. We will also need more than we have of data scientists, data warehouse, business intelligence and mobile app developers, as well as creative and innovative professionals who can help us evolve how we deliver care. Additionally, we will always need people skilled and/or certified in Epic. We’ll always need technical professionals as well, as our technology infrastructure becomes increasingly complex”.
