Less Tech, More Care : How Hospital Leaders Can Escape the Technology Trap, Reclaim Their Budgets, and Deliver Better Care
Overview
What if the best thing your hospital could do with technology is have less of it?
At WakeMed Health and Hospitals, that question led to more than thirty applications eliminated and $15 million returned to the organization in two years. The money became a NICU expansion, an oncology expansion, new anesthesia machines, and new clinical equipment. It became patient care.
Less Tech, More Care is the account of how a hospital CIO and CMIO did it, and why the approach can work at any health system. You'll find the four-phase roadmap, straight answers to the toughest objections (vendor lock-in, lost flexibility, "this isn't innovative"), and four working tools: an application assessment framework, an A3 business case template, a vendor intake process, and contract management disciplines.
It began in 2006, when author Pete Marks's wife carried six hundred printed pages of their children's medical records across San Antonio because there was no electronic way to move them. Twenty years later, the problem has only multiplied.
For hospital and health system leaders who are ready to subtract. With a foreword by Donald Gintzig, CEO of WakeMed Health and Hospitals.
Less tech. More care. They are the same sentence.
