Industry game changers to watch in healthcare IT

Whatever the outcome of healthcare reform, this much is clear: Information technology will play a critical role in the improvement and delivery of patient outcomes. So, will government contractors — they already are. So, who’s in the lead?

“Healthcare IT Game Changers: 11 Industry Names to Watch.”

ExecutiveBiz, a weekly digital magazine that covers government contracting, brings you its first annual list, “Healthcare IT Game Changers: 11 Industry Names to Watch.” The publication based its selection on specific metrics including noteworthy projects that are proving replicable for future customers; thought leadership on standards setting and other top healthcare-related issues; new solutions to modernize existing infrastructures; and nomination by industry colleagues.

Those selected include Larry Albert of Agilex, who’s helped lead CONNECT Gateway, a high-profile project that’s become a prototype of how healthcare IT can drive cost-saving results; Maximus’ Bruce Caswell, who’s maintaining a focus on patient-centric tools; and Booz Allen Hamilton’s Susan Penfield, who routinely brings together discrete parties to find ways information technology can further healthcare goals.

Other “Industry Game Changers to Watch” include CGI’s Cheryl Campbell; Dr. Robert Wah of CSC; Dr. Kevin Fickenscher of Dell Perot; Deloitte’s Dr. Michael Cowan; HP’s Don Picard; Amy King of Northrop Grumman, SRA’s Paul Nedzbala; and Kerry Weems of Vangent.
