Anderson Named to “100 Community Hospital CIOs to Know” List

Becker’s Hospital Review recently named IT Director Nathan Anderson to its 2017 “100 Community Hospital CIOs to Know” list. Becker’s selected individuals who hold senior IT positions at their institutions and are set apart by the exciting new projects they’re piloting.

Anderson joined Brookings Health System’s team in 2012. As the IT Director, he is responsible for managing the development of information systems, data processing systems and related functional activities to support Brookings Health System’s information technology.

Hospitals and health systems rely on CIOs and IT leaders to develop a long-term technology strategy and oversee EMR implementation and support, telehealth, health information exchanges, cybersecurity and more. Community hospital’s IT departments face unique challenges in their efforts to connect with patients, physician offices and other care settings, often across broad geographies and using limited resources.
