For the 111th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Rusty Yeager, Senior VP and CIO at Encompass Health to talk about navigating the changing world of healthcare as a CIO! We kick this episode off by discussing what we think the greatest leadership challenge healthcare CIOs are facing right now. Then we debate how we think CIOs should be navigating the ever-evolving world of AI. Next, Yeager tells us more about the Palantir solution. We then get into the value that can come from the tight integration between ERP and EHR to find out whether Yeager has seen it.

We then shift over to Yeager’s time as a CIO as he shares some of his keys to effectively leading a health IT organization in this current environment. Next, Yeager shares a major lesson he learned in his time as CIO. Then, we talk about a favorite story of a project, situation, or effort during Yeager’s career. We then discuss how to properly balance strategy and team development with all of the operational challenges healthcare organizations face. 

Next, we take a look at a topic that Yeager thinks deserves more attention because it isn’t being talked about enough right now. Lastly, we conclude this episode with Yeager passing along advice to aspiring CIOs as Yeager prepares to retire soon.
