Recently I had posted about the value of a hospital CIO having a technology background and received a comment from a healthcare CIO that cared to differ with the post, well here's a CIO that does not share the same opinion thank goodness. If you keep up on healthcare news, you will see Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston is in the news quite frequently, and a lot of the news reflects on how the CIO and CEO both embrace technology and are working on some pretty outstanding projects to promote better healthcare and research...and he includes and acknowledges Web 2.0...good reading and a good explanation of how it works, as well as his plans for the future. You can find both of these blogs listed in the blog roll on this site....BD
"You may have heard the term Web 2.0 and been unclear what it means. Then again, you're reading this blog, so chances are you're part of the enlightened who have already embraced blogs, which are part of Web 2.0."
"I want to admit publicly that I did not embrace Web 2.0 fast enough. At Harvard, we do provide easy to use content management for departmental websites (not individuals), online document sharing, calendars, news and forums. We also host dozens of Wiki sites.....As part of the new Dean's strategic planning process, I have recommended an immediate, wholesale adoption of Web 2.0 throughout Harvard Medical School.".....2008 will include a major push to catch up and broadly deploy Web 2.0 collaboration and publishing tools throughout all my organizations."
