You have been hired as a consultant at Meadow View Hospital, a 211-bed acute care hospital. The organization has a great reputation and is considered technologically advanced, despite never having an IT strategic plan. The IT organization reports to the CFO (Chief Financial Officer). The CEO and other leaders have generally left the IT decisions up to the CFO alone.  As a result of this organization, the hospital’s financial systems are advanced, but support for clinical systems are lacking or not implemented at all.

The CEO has hired you because she believes that the organization would be more competitive if they had stronger IT support and were able to offer electronic lab results, something their competitors have offered for years. Additionally, there is no physician leadership helping to steer clinical IT decisions. The CEO believes this lack of support may lead to physicians choosing to practice elsewhere. 

Your assignment is to deliver a 5 – 7 slide (not counting the title and reference slides) presentation to the CEO that outlines your recommendations for changes to the IT organization.  If you have recommended leadership changes, be sure to include a sample organization chart.

You may use PowerPoint or Google Slides to create your presentation. Use APA format to cite your sources, including in-text citations on slides, and include a slide with References at the end.
