“ The potential of leveraging new technologies that augment the work of our clinicians to enhance , extend , and ultimately save lives make my job truly exciting !”
MICHAEL ELLEY CIO , BAPTIST HEALTH OF ARKANSAS
Taking healthcare to a higher level “ I think this technology will take medicine and healthcare to the next level ,” says Elley . “ It will augment , not replace , what we are doing at present , making it safer and
better all the time . For example , a patient may be receiving a full chest scan for a musculo-skeletal problem causing pain or limiting their mobility . All their attention , plus that of the physician , is naturally focused on that particular problem .
“ The potential of leveraging new technologies that augment the work of our clinicians to enhance , extend , and ultimately save lives make my job truly exciting !”
It should be said , however , that Baptist Health remains a fundamentally grounded organisation , and this suits Michael Elley ' s style of leadership . He believes that no matter how exciting the potential of advanced clinical technologies may be , they can ' t be introduced successfully across any large healthcare system without buy-in from all stakeholders , and in particular , among the people leading change throughout the organisation .
