CIO Podcast - Episode 7: Pamela S. Banchy - A Nurse CIO and Community Hospital Perspective

22 minutes

For the 7th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we’re sitting down with Pamela S. Banchy RN-BC PMP CHCIO FCHIME, CIO and VP Clinical Informatics at Western Reserve Hospital.

In this episode, Banchy offers a really unique insight into the role of CIO given her background as a nurse. Plus, she also has the added perspective of being CIO at the community hospital Western Reserve Hospital. Both of these make for some really interesting perspectives and insights when it comes to being a healthcare CIO.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:

How has your job as CIO been impacted by working at a physician owned community hospital?

Are community hospitals sustainable? Will it require partnerships with larger systems to be successful going forward?

It’s not very often nurses become CIOs. Should more nurses become CIO and what unique perspectives does your nursing background give you?

What’s some of the challenges you’ve had to navigate during COVID and how’d you do it given the budget constraints of your situation?

What’s been the key to your success as a CIO?

What’s the best advice you’ve been given that you’d share with other CIOs and aspiring CIOs?

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the CIO Podcast by Healthcare IT Today.
