CIO Podcast - Episode 36: Digital Transformation with Kathy Azeez-Narain

August 01, 2022

For the 36th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Kathy Azeez-Narain, Chief Digital Officer at Hoag. We dive into the current state of Digital Transformation in healthcare and examine how it’s progressing. She shares some lessons she’s learned from American Express about digital strategy. We then discuss how marketing plays into your digital strategy. Finally, we look into digital eco-systems to see what is needed for it to be comprehensive.


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


  • Where are we at with Digital Transformation in healthcare and where are we going?
  • What lessons can you bring from American Express that apply to healthcare when it comes to digital strategy?
  • What’s an example of using digital to enhance the patient experience?
  • How is marketing going to play into a healthcare organization’s digital strategy?
  • In the future, what will be included in a comprehensive digital eco-system?
  • What career advice would you have for someone who’s been a c-level executive outside of healthcare that’s looking at healthcare for their next career move?

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