title: CIO. Roles and relationships. Interview by Walter Wachel.
abstract: Today's chief information officer has a dual role. As a technical expert, the CIO must stay atop rapid changes and strategically plan, implement, and build an organization's technological backbone to support better patient-care delivery, quality, and cost-containment efforts. As an executive, the CIO must possess the management know-how to lead organizational change and work processes.
