Inside New York-Presbyterian hospital's major mobile upgrade

When a person becomes a patient in a hospital, a team forms around them. Keeping that team informed and connected to other specialists, caregivers, and teams is a constant challenge -- especially when the healthcare organization encompasses six hospitals and more than 26,000 employees. That challenge was taken up by New York-Presbyterian Hospital in the project that earned it a spot in the InformationWeek Elite 100. Aurelia Boyer, senior vice president and CIO, and Dr. Peter Fleischut, associate chief innovation officer at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, discussed the nature of the challenge and how they found a solution, in a telephone interview with InformationWeek.
