## Resource

In this episode of QuickHITs , Tyler Smith and Ken Booth sit down with Luis Taveras , SVP & CIO at Jefferson Health , for a deep and engaging conversation about what modern technology leadership in healthcare truly requires. Luis shares how he approaches building IT cultures rooted in trust, curiosity, and accountability. He also shares why leaders must stay grounded in continuous learning as the industry evolves. Throughout the conversation, he reflects on the increasingly strategic role of CIOs, the balancing act between innovation and operational excellence, and the importance of aligning teams around a shared purpose. His global experience and academic lens offer a thoughtful roadmap for how healthcare technology organizations can transform with intention rather than noise. It's an insightful, generous discussion filled with wisdom from a leader who has seen healthcare IT from every angle. And at the end of the episode, Luis introduces his book, The 90-Day CIO , which helps CIOs and IT leaders accelerate their impact by learning from his experience. All proceeds from the book go directly to charity.
