| [ROOM C] Clinical leadership in a changing world: developing the CCIO role: Clinical leadership is now recognised more than ever as critical to the success of IT projects in healthcare. More clinicians are now in formally recognised senior informatics roles within healthcare organisations, reflecting both the importance of informatics in day-to-day working of organisations and the critical understanding that only practicing clinical staff can bring to such projects. This year HC is running a specific stream on clinical leadership, aligned with the CCIO campaign, with three distinct areas of focus: national and strategic leadership; challenges of delivering leadership by different professional groups (including GPs, hospital consultants, nurses and radiology specialities); specific examples of how clinical leadership can deliver change within and across organisations. |
