Hiring and developing technical talent.
The Context
Five years of healthcare IT experience reveals patterns in what works and what fails. The technical lessons are valuable, but the leadership lessons are transformative.
The technical complexity of managing enterprise systems at this scale requires both depth and breadth of knowledge. Solutions that work for small organizations fail at enterprise scale.
The greatest lesson is that technology exists to serve people, not the reverse. In healthcare IT, this is not abstract philosophy but daily reality. When systems fail, patient care suffers. This responsibility shapes how IT leaders think about risk, change, and innovation.
