For the 99th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Michael Mainiero, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Information Officer at Catholic Health, to talk about Catholic Health being awarded Epic’s Honor Roll Good Maintenance Grant! We kick this episode off by first discussing what being recognized by Epic’s Honor Roll Good Maintenance Grant Program meant to Mainiero and his team. Then, Mainiero shares some of his achievements that came from this program and details what other CIOs can learn from them. Next, we talk about how to prioritize opportunities when there are so many options for improvement. Mainiero then shares what he is planning to do with the grant money from Epic. We then discuss how much Mainiero is leveraging the EHR to enable innovation versus outside vendors as he approaches innovation. Moving outside of EHRs, we talk about what Mainiero’s biggest challenges are and how he’s working to address them. We conclude this episode with Mainiero passing along the best piece of advice he’s gotten in his career.

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