Technology and Leadership Will Merge At New Chief Digital Executive Exchange

Today's healthcare challenges call for a deeper dive into complexity, and that requires collaboration between leaders in innovation and the rest of the c-suite.

All growth in healthcare will march along the path of digital technology. But how that technology is being brought into the clinical, financial and strategic enterprise of current health systems requires a deeper connection between information leaders and their counterparts in the healthcare C-Suite.

To fill that gap of information and collaboration among leaders, the HealthLeaders Exchange has announced the first annual Chief Digital Executive Exchange, which will bring together 25 of the nation’s top digital and information officers to reset the path toward digital transformation alongside panels built with their counterparts in clinical, financial, and executive leadership.

The HealthLeaders Chief Digital Executive Exchange will join the broader HealthLeaders Exchange network, featuring ongoing C-level communities of hospital, health system and medical group practice chief executive officers, chief financial officers, chief nursing officers and chief medical officers.

The HealthLeaders Chief Digital Executive Exchange will culminate at the first annual live forum Dec. 4-5 at Le Meridien in Washington, D.C.

Jim Molpus, Vice President of Content and Communities for HealthLeaders Media, says the addition of digital officers completes a circle for the Exchange program.
“Our CEO, CFO, CNO and CMO Exchange groups all have the exact same ‘ask’ of digital technology: Do more to improve real outcomes and lower costs,” Molpus says.

The HealthLeaders Chief Digital Executive Exchange will have a unique format. The community of digital executives will have the benefits of a true peer network to share ideas and best practices among themselves, with the added benefit of CEOs, CFOs, CNOs and CMOs from the larger Exchange community brought in on topics where they share common goals.

“We spoke with several digital leaders who told us that the challenges they face today require a much deeper dive into complexity, and with the other C-level stakeholders also at the table. We feel like the HealthLeaders Exchange community is in a unique position to fill that gap in industry dialogue.”

In 2025, the key topics will center on how digital technology can be most effective in transforming clinical outcomes, access, financial/operational efficiency, AI and overall growth and market strategy. The HealthLeaders Exchange team and HealthLeaders Media Senior Technology Editor Eric Wicklund will be recruiting panelists for the program.
