Frontline clinicians appreciate the need for data-driven insights, but they're also overwhelmed with the competing mandates of quality improvement and cost-reduction, says Jeanne M. Huddleston, MD, associate professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic. Making analytics work for them – but most especially for patients – requires a broad-based approach.
"We need your great work, but we're tired and confused," said Huddleston, speaking Wednesday at the HIMSS Big Data and Healthcare Analytics Forum in San Francisco.

A new survey of more than 1,500 women revealed that they frequently encounter obstacles that impact salary and career advancement, according to Women Who Code.
Seventy five percent of jobs in the U.S. will require technology skills within the next decade, according to Women Who Code CEO Alaina Percival.
“It’s imperative that the industry as a whole become a more welcoming and inclusive place for women who have been drastically underrepresented to date,” Percival said in a statement. “Providing women every available opportunity and resource to succeed is crucial – both for their well being and for the stability of the economy.”
Highlighting challenges women face once they enter technology careers, the study also looked at what needs to be done to attract women to technology fields in the first place.

The demand for chief information security officers in the U.S. is rising, and so are the salaries of these increasingly important executives. The average compensation range for CISOs, in fact, starts at $136,000 and peaks at $345,000; the median salary for a U.S. CISO is $223,000, according to the new study from SilverBull, an IT and cybersecurity recruiting and staffing firm.
But many CISOs make a lot more dough. For example, according to SilverBull, the top of the average salary range by location varies, including $421,000 in San Francisco, $406,000 in New York, $380,000 in Washington, $378,000 in Los Angeles, $362,000 in Chicago, and $348,000 in Atlanta.

When UC Irvine Health CIO Chuck Podesta needed a bigger security budget he walked the hospital’s chief executive through a typical data breach or loss scenario. The last bullet point: CEO apologizes to the public.
“He looked me right in the eye,” Podesta explained, “and said ‘I never want that to happen.’”
Podesta fired back: “Then it’s going to cost $5 million.”
The tactic was effective as part of a broader strategy to convince the board to fund more information security investments.
Many if not most hospitals are grappling with the same challenge of getting the resources they need to secure patient data and, according to Symantec Health Information Technology Officer David Finn, rather than caring about cybersecurity, boards and the executives are all-too-frequently detached from it.

Coordination is critical to successfully fending off cybercriminals, Intermountain Healthcare CIO and College of Healthcare Information Management Executives Board Chair Marc Probst told a congressional panel on Wednesday.
Strategy is the key to defending against cybercriminals, and it should be the focus of federal efforts rather than fiddling with the organizational reporting structure the Department of Health and Human Services has in place today, Probst said.
“Just as healthcare institutions must coordinate efforts to thwart cyber threats, it is vital that the Department of Health and Human Services have a coordinated plan to address threats to the data and systems used and housed by the department,” said Probst, who was part of a panel testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health.

Spats on social media happen all the time. Just read the comments on any random YouTube video or Google “celebrity Twitter fights.”
But have you ever heard of a longtime, accomplished health IT entrepreneur and executive launching a personal attack on business-focused networking site LinkedIn?
Matthew Dooley, a Cincinnati-based social media strategist, had not. “It’s rare to see this kind of behavior on display, given the professional nature of LinkedIn. Of all of the social blunders I’ve witnessed over the years, I can’t recall one that took place on LinkedIn,” Dooley wrote in an email.
Would it be stranger to know that it was over the sharing of a popular comic strip that’s available in hundreds of daily newspapers? Well, that happened this week, and it’s raising questions about what’s appropriate in the professional use of social media.
