5 steps to build a great IT department, according to Corewell Health's CIO

Corewell Health's Chief Digital and Information Officer Jason Joseph said having a clear strategy for your hospital and health system's IT department is the No. 1 tip in building a successful IT department. Corewell Health, dually headquartered in Grand Rapids and Southfield, Mich., was recently nominated to Computerworld's best places to work in IT for 2023. The judges chose the finalists from a list of nominees based on factors such as diversity, employee engagement, hybrid work, benefits, career development and IT growth. "The work isn't just about adopting technology, it's also about leadership and support so an organization and its people will embrace digital transformation over time," said Mr. Joseph. "At Corewell Health, that means leading from behind with humility and recognizing that, in the end, the work isn't about us."
