CIOs are change leaders. We're not technologists, we're change leaders. One of the best things that happened with COVID was adoption went through the roof. When there was finally a need, all the barriers went away.

Stanford is the highest acuity children's hospital in the country. We have the highest severity of children’s illness. And so many of our patients need long-term care, not just an acute episode. So, our digital health strategy was developed under a motto that I came up with "In our care, anywhere." We are already getting to know the patient before they come for care. And we're keeping them in our care, in partnership with their community.
