Preparing for the Future of IT at HMS

John D. Halamka | Life as a Healthcare CIO | July 21, 2011

Every day I examine my life and think about the roles I serve.   I consider all the unresolved issues in my professional and personal life, then ponder the processes needed to address them.

I think about the next week, the next month, and the next year.   Hopefully, I'll be able to skate where the puck will be.

As I approach 50, I've become particularly introspective about the challenges in healthcare and medicine that lay ahead.

I believe that Accountable Care Organizations, Patient Centered Medical Homes, and the Partnership for Patients/CMS Center for Innovation  will create exponential growth in healthcare IT requirements.
