For the 82nd episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Erin Osbourn, Chief Information Officer at Child Mind Institute, to talk about mental health! We kick this episode off by discussing how being a CIO of a mental health organization differs from being a CIO of other healthcare organizations. Then Osbourn shares what she would do if she had a magic wand that could make anything happen for mental health. Next, we talk about what project Osbourn was the most excited to work on and what made it a success. We then shift our focus over to AI. Osbourn shares how she is approaching AI and what impact she thinks it will make on behavioral health. Then we talk about the technology/trend that we are excited about and don’t think enough people are talking about. Lastly, we wrap this episode up as Osbourn shares the best piece of advice she’s heard in her career.
