Technology Governance at Ascension

Dave Baker, VP Strategic Planning and Innovation, Ascension Information Services (AIS), Ascension Health.  Technology governance is more than IT governance. In fact, it is hard to think of any healthcare capabilities that don’t require some form of technology or, at a minimum, integrate with technologies that support other capabilities. This makes navigating Ascension’s technology landscape challenging, particularly when considering the appropriate application of technologies across Ascension’s healthcare and solutions divisions. Join Dave as he describes the multi-stage journey they are leading at Ascension to engage healthcare and operations leadership in understanding business needs, and how those needs must align with technology investments. They discuss Ascension’s governance structure, the decision rights allocated to those structures, and the establishment of key processes that are helping Ascension realize the benefits of technology governance.
