Patient Engagement HIT Talks to CIO about Building Digital Front Door

In a new interview, Patient Engagement HIT talks to Jerry Vuchak, the senior vice president and chief information officer for Nebraska-based Children’s Hospital & Medical Center about building their digital front door.

According the article, "For Jerry Vuchak, the senior vice president and chief information officer for Nebraska-based Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, building out the digital front door isn’t just about keeping up with the Joneses.

'When I think about this personally, I don't think about this as competing locally with someone else to get the job,' Vuchak, whose organization recently launched digital wayfinding from Gozio as part of its virtual patient engagement suite, said in an interview. 'Our first goal and our strategic plan are around quality, safety, and exceptional patient experience. And that's what we're really going after here is the exceptional experience every time.'

Sure, Vuchak admitted, the digital front door and the patient engagement technologies that comprise it have become imperative in an increasingly consumerized healthcare industry. One of the pediatric hospital’s values is also innovation, and that means pushing the envelope on tools that help Children’s meet patients and families where they are."
