Jake Lancaster And Peter Hong On Clinical Informatics, Disruptive Innovation, And App Maintenance

March 10: Today on Townhall Jake Lancaster, Chief Medical Information Officer at Baptist Memorial Health Care interviews Peter Hong, Clinical Informatics Fellow and Pediatric Hospitalist fellow at Boston Children's.

What skill sets and capabilities do you already have within your health system that can help with the process?
