If you are looking for a Healthcare CIO’s perspective on how they research, buy & want to be sold to this episode is for you!
We had the privilege of hosting JD Whitlock, Chief Information Officer at Dayton Children's Hospital, for an enlightening discussion on how healthcare IT decision-makers research, select, and want to be sold to.
With almost 30 years of experience spanning roles from health system administration to his current post overseeing all aspects of technology at Dayton Children’s, JD brought invaluable perspective. He gave us an inside look at topics like:
- How cross-functional teams approach high-stakes IT investment decisions
- Best practices for aligning with annual budget planning cycles
- The external resources and insights CIOs rely on during the vetting process
- Securing buy-in across both clinical and technical stakeholders
- Extremely common sales missteps that get providers off on the wrong foot
JD emphasized that establishing trusted relationships and mutually beneficial technology partnerships serve both healthcare organizations and vendor success over the long term.
This was a transparent, insightful session covering much ground on marketing and selling into complex health systems.
