For the 34th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Leanne Harvey, CIO of Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at BIDMC.  We dive into telehealth with Harvey to learn about where BIDMC is at 2 years post COVID.  She shares some of the lessons learned.  Plus, we ask her about whether telehealth has an impact on physician burnout.  Finally, we ask her what’s the key to making telehealth successful going forward and what she sees on the horizon for telehealth.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:

• What were some of the big tech issues and other barriers you faced as you rolled out telehealth at HMFP (Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)?
  
• How did you approach integration with the EHR? Did you change that over time or are you still hoping to change it?
  
• 2 years post COVID, what does the telehealth program look like for patients today?
  
• From what you’ve seen, what’s telehealth’s impact on physician burnout?
  
• What’s the key to successful telehealth going forward? What’s on the horizon for telehealth?
  
• With this shift to digital that’s going on, what career advice would you have for CIOs out there?
  

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the CIO Podcast by Healthcare IT Today.
