Article Abstract:
Chief information officers (CIO) are quickly gaining acceptance and stature within the hospital industry, despite the fact that only 9% of respondents to the 1994 Hay Hospital Survey indicated that their organizations had a CIO. Hospitals with over $200 million in revenues pay their CIOs an average of $109,000. Josephine Lawrence, VP of Warren, OH's St. Joseph Riverside Hospital, noted that CIOs provide essential expertise and can provide a competitive edge.

Article Abstract:
The chief executive officer of a hospital should maintain open, truthful communication with trustees and board members to make sure their expectations are being fulfilled. Frequent contact should build mutual trust and prevent situations that result in termination. The CEO should also look for well-qualified trustees and train them to help set standards and policies for the organization, including public relations.
