The October issue of Becker's Hospital Review includes a special section of content on health information technology and health information management — an area of increasing concern for hospital and health system CEOs as they prepare their organizations for a future of pay-for-performance and population health management. The issue offers a close-up look into what two leading systems in the HIT and HIM space — Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania and Intermountain Health in Utah — are doing to make use of data and how they are using it to improve health outcomes and drive internal efficiency. This issue also contains our annual list of "Rising Stars: 25 Health Leaders Under 40" and our first annual list of "50 of the Greenest Hospitals in America," which highlights hospitals and health systems around the country that have made reducing their environmental impact a key part of their strategy.
