A competitive edge. Whether for profit or not, CIOs are under pressure to make sure every IT dollar yields concrete benefits.

Out of those improvements, comes ROI. Successful implementations come from CIOs and their teams working closely with clinician leaders. The concept of measuring "value" may more useful than tracking the fruits of "investment."
