CIO Podcast – Episode 15: Michael Archuleta on CIO Challenges and Diversity

For the 15th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Michael Archuleta, CIO at Mt. San Rafael Hospital.  Archuleta has an interesting perspective working at a rural hospital that just went through building a new hospital.  He shares some of the challenges and opportunities that the new hospital presented him and his team.

Archuleta also shares about his new appointment as eHealth Commissioner for the Office of eHealth Innovation in Colorado along with his perspective being a LatinX CIO.  Plus, we had to talk about healthcare security which is one of his passions.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:

  • What’s the most important thing you’re working on today? And why?
  • What’s the most challenging thing you’re dealing with and how are you approaching it?
  • You were recently appointed as the eHealth Commissioner advising the Office of eHealth Innovation in Colorado. Tell us about some of that work and what you’re working to accomplish in Colorado.
  • You do a lot of work with the LatinX community. Any suggestions on how health IT can be more inclusive of the LatinX community and your experience as a LatinX CIO?
  • Security is a major passion of yours. What’s been the best security project you’ve done that’s helped you sleep better at night?
  • What’s been the best advice you’ve been given in your career?
