For the 17th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Daniel Barchi, Chief Information Officer at New York-Presbyterian. Barchi has one of the most interesting backgrounds of anyone we’ve had on our CIO podcast. His career started in the military and led to him being CIO of one of New York’s important healthcare organizations, New York-Presbyterian.

In this episode Barchi shares some of his experience and his staff’s experience during the COVID-19 outbreak and more importantly what they plan to institutionalize at their organization now. Plus, they incredibly did an EHR go-live amidst the pandemic and he shares how that experience went for his organization. Barchi also shares leadership lessons from his time in the military and his biggest struggle as CIO. Plus, he’s an avid runner and so we had to ask him how running marathons can be applied to his work as CIO and health IT.
