Save the date! Becker's Hospital Review 6th Annual Meeting — May 7-9, 2015 — Chicago. Please call 800-417-2035 to register. 7 March Issue. The March issue of Becker's Hos- pital Review is all about technology, which touches every aspect of the modern-day hospital or health system. In the next few pages, you will find the an- nual list of 100 Hospital and Health System CIOs to Know. These information technology leaders have tackled the challenging world of health IT and continue to innovate during a time of immense change. The issue's cover story, "The Hospital's Guide to Getting Hacked," discusses the cybersecu- rity risks hospitals face today. Experts now say it's not a matter of if but a matter of when a hospital undergoes a cyberattack or data breach. This article shares best practices and defense plans to help you keep your organization prepared. Other stories in the March issue set out to solve a number of health IT-related questions: How are EHRs changing medical school curriculum? How can CFOs and CIOs work better together? What op- tions do struggling hospitals have when it comes to revenue cycle management? The March issue also includes a roundtable with five hospital and health system CIOs from around the country, along with a Q&A with Phyllis Teater, CIO of OSU Wexner Med- ical Center, about the ups and downs of opening a new hospital in the heyday of health IT. 6th Annual Meeting and CIO Summit.
