Forward-thinking community hospital CEOs are giving information technology leaders a voice in strategic planning sessions. The reason?

This white paper provides a roadmap for strategy-driven IT transformation, from assessing a hospital’s needs to building a framework for IT solutions that support both clinical care and financial success.
