Leadership in a Digital Enterprise
Leadership in a Digital Enterprise addresses topics that CIOs frequently bring up during gatherings, Love explains.
“When the pandemic struck, it accelerated a curve that I think we’d been dealing with going into digital transformation, and what we know, entering that era, was that real leadership was needed to move into an uncertain future, to be able to bring people along into a new area,” Love said. “And technology was playing a real role in that. And so the CIO, who for so long asked for a seat at the table, was suddenly thrust there because we knew technology, we knew how to make it work.”

Schirmer befriended and groomed the child before the two engaged in numerous acts of sexual conduct, the prosecutor’s office said.
The defendant also gave marijuana to the child in exchange for the acts. Their relationship continued for several months until the child’s parents became suspicious.
Doug Sparks, the founder and CEO of Precision Value Based Management, chatted with Digital Journal s Markos Papadatos about his company.
Precision Value Based Management owns the technology that grades and ranks physicians for payers, hospital systems, and ACOs, with over 21 million patients that are being tracked. They know exactly what is expected of each physician s practice. For example, even if one did Annual Wellness Visits/AWV and Health Risk Assessments/HRA for every patient, one will still be penalized for failing to act on medical necessities found within those results, Sparks said.
Sparks noted that physicians are completely unaware that this is even happening. Only our platform can identify these deficiencies, engage your patients, and drive this missed revenue for you, he said.
