Martin A1 - Lazuta, Gene PY - 2018 T2 - It's About Patient Care: Transforming Healthcare Information Technology the Cleveland Clinic Way AB - The work described in this book occurred over a period of more than 15 years and required the close collaboration of clinical, administrative, and information technology professionals representing the entire range of Cleveland Clinic’s operating model and medical practice. Much of it was unique in our industry for its time. Consequently, it was often intensive, costly, and inherently stressful, particularly in the heat of the moment, usually following months or even years of effort, when a new system or physical infrastructure component was first switched on. Everything we did felt entirely new when we were doing it and affected everyone in our enterprise. Nothing occurred in isolation, so in a very real sense, we have every Cleveland Clinic caregiver to thank for being our partners, our advisors, our colleagues, and our friends. Nothing we accomplished could have happened without their support, counsel, patience, and good graces. To every Cleveland Clinic caregiver, past, present, and future, I would like to extend my most sincere appreciation and thanks—with particular gratitude to the members of our current Senior IT Leadership team: Lou Capponi, MD, Timothy Crone, MD, Christopher Donovan, Adam Fogelman, Mitchell Krieger, MD, Amy Merlino, MD, William Morris, MD, Mary Partin, PhD, Pam Piar, Maureen Sullivan, Joe Turk, and Robert White, MD. Thank you also to Nelita Iuppa, DNP; and to Heather Walker for everything she did to help make this book a reality.
